What does the data cover?

County Business Patterns and ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023, the latest release: 3,192 counties, all 50 states plus DC, 34,953 ZIP codes and about 2,000 NAICS 2022 industries from 2-digit sectors to 6-digit detail, 1.1 million county-industry and 2.9 million ZIP-industry cells.

What is in each cell?

Establishment count, employment, annual payroll and the distribution of establishments by employee-size class, exactly as the Census Bureau publishes them.

Why are some values missing?

The Census Bureau suppresses employment and payroll where few establishments exist, to protect confidentiality. The establishment count and size distribution are still published and returned, and suppressed values are returned as null rather than zero.

How do I find the right industry code?

The industries endpoint searches NAICS codes by description, so 'restaurant' resolves to 722511 for full-service and 722513 for limited-service before you query a geography.

How often is it updated?

Annually, when the Census Bureau publishes the next reference year, usually in late spring. The sources endpoint reports the year in use.

Business Patterns API

Establishments, employment and payroll for every US county, state and ZIP by NAICS industry, Census 2023

The business density of every place in America, straight from the US Census Bureau: establishments, employment, annual payroll and employer-size distributions from County Business Patterns and ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023, the latest release. Coverage is complete and consistent — 3,192 counties, all 50 states plus DC, 34,953 ZIP codes and roughly 2,000 NAICS-2022 industries from 2-digit sectors down to 6-digit detail (1.1 million county-industry cells, 2.9 million ZIP-industry cells). Ask how many full-service restaurants operate in the US (258,626), which county leads (Los Angeles, 8,214), which ZIP codes concentrate finance firms (the Chicago Loop and Midtown Manhattan), or what the industry mix of ZIP 10001 looks like. NAICS codes are accepted bare or CBP-formatted and every response carries plain-English industry titles; Census noise flags are surfaced honestly (withheld values are null, never fake zeros). Built for market sizing, site selection, lead-gen targeting, credit and insurance modeling, and economic research. Public-domain source data, self-hosted — no third-party calls at request time.

Every call needs an X-Api-Key header. A free key includes 500 tokens a month, no card required. 1 token per call, so the free plan covers about 500 calls a month.
