Analysis
NAICS 713950 is the 2022 national industry for bowling centers, part of 71395 (Bowling Centers). Census lists 9 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 3,154 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 63,860 people at an average annual payroll of $22,130 per employee (1st percentile of national industries). 20% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 14% and employment fell 8%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include bowling alleys, bowling centers, candle pin bowling alleys and candle pin bowling centers, among 9 in all.
