Business Patterns API
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 β 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 β no third-party calls at request time.
