Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include assessor's offices, tax, board of Governors, Federal Reserve, budget agencies, government and controllers' and comptrollers' offices, government, among 13 in all.
Census lists 3 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 923130, 926150 and 521110. 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, administering income maintenance programs are classified in 923130 (Administration of Human Resource Programs (except Education, Public Health, and Veterans' Affairs Programs)) instead.
County Business Patterns excludes public administration, so there is no establishment count for it.
