Analysis
NAICS 81293 is the 2022 NAICS industry for parking lots and garages, part of 8129 (Other Personal Services).
It has only one more detailed code, 812930, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 12,189 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 128,501 people at an average annual payroll of $31,264 per employee (4th percentile of national industries). 61% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 2% and employment fell 17%. 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.
By establishments it ranks 3rd of the 4 codes at this level within Other Personal Services, with 19.4% of them.
