Analysis
NAICS 813410 is the 2022 national industry for civic and social organizations, part of 81341 (Civic and Social Organizations). Census lists 46 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 24,698 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 201,423 people at an average annual payroll of $31,334 per employee (5th percentile of national industries). 57% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include alumni associations, alumni clubs, automobile clubs (except road and travel services) and book discussion clubs, among 46 in all.
Census lists 3 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 524, 721310 and 561599. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
For example, businesses of insurance offices operated by fraternal benefit organizations are classified in 524 (Insurance Carriers and Related Activities) instead.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 4% 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.
