Esri Business Summary data summarizes the Business Locations from Data Axle for specified North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) summary categories by geography. These include the total number of businesses, total sales, and total number of employees for a trade area.
A key differentiator of Data Axle business data is the addition of two proprietary digits onto the standard government-provided industrial classification codes. These extra two digits, which produce an eight-digit NAICS code and a six-digit SIC code, provide additional detail about the business type.
For standard government NAICS and SIC code definitions, see the NAICS website and the SIC Manual.
The Business Summary database provides statistics for the following:
- Total sales
- Total number of employees
- Number of businesses by industry
