Introduction to the Economic Census

PURPOSES AND USES OF THE ECONOMIC CENSUS

The economic census is the major source of facts about the structure and functioning of thenation’s economy. It provides essential information for government, business, industry, and thegeneral public. Title 13 of the United States Code (Sections 131, 191, and 224) directs the CensusBureau to take the economic census every 5 years, covering years ending in “2” and “7.”

The economic census furnishes an important part of the framework for such composite measuresas the gross domestic product estimates, input/output measures, production and price indexes,and other statistical series that measure short-term changes in economic conditions. Specific usesof economic census data include the following:

• Policymaking agencies of the federal government use the data to monitor economic activity andto assess the effectiveness of policies.

• State and local governments use the data to assess business activities and tax bases withintheir jurisdictions and to develop programs to attract business.

• Trade associations study trends in their own and competing industries, which allows them tokeep their members informed of market changes.

• Individual businesses use the data to locate potential markets and to analyze their own produc-tion and sales performance relative to industry or area averages.

INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATIONS

Data from the 2002 Economic Census are published primarily according to the 2002 North Ameri-can Industry Classification System (NAICS). NAICS was first adopted in the United States, Canada,and Mexico in 1997. The 2002 Economic Census covers the following NAICS sectors:

21 Mining22 Utilities23 Construction31-33 Manufacturing42 Wholesale Trade44-45 Retail Trade48-49 Transportation and Warehousing51 Information52 Finance and Insurance53 Real Estate and Rental and Leasing54 Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services55 Management of Companies and Enterprises56 Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services61 Educational Services62 Health Care and Social Assistance71 Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation72 Accommodation and Food Services81 Other Services (except Public Administration)

(Not listed above are the Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Hunting sector (NAICS 11), partiallycovered by the census of agriculture conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and thePublic Administration sector (NAICS 92), largely covered by the census of governments conductedby the Census Bureau.)

The 20 NAICS sectors are subdivided into 100 subsectors (three-digit codes), 317 industry groups(four-digit codes), and, as implemented in the United States, 1,179 industries (six-digit codes).

Introduction v2002 Economic Census

U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census

RELATIONSHIP TO HISTORICAL INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATIONS

Prior to the 1997 Economic Census, data were published according to the Standard Industrial Clas-sification (SIC) system. While many of the individual NAICS industries correspond directly to indus-tries as defined under the SIC system, most of the higher level groupings do not. Particular careshould be taken in comparing data for retail trade, wholesale trade, and manufacturing, which aresector titles used in both NAICS and SIC, but cover somewhat different groups of industries. The1997 Economic Census Bridge Between NAICS and SIC demonstrates the relationships betweenNAICS and SIC industries. Where changes are significant, it may not be possible to construct timeseries that include data for points both before and after 1997.

Most industry classifications remained unchanged between 1997 and 2002, but NAICS 2002includes substantial revisions within the construction and wholesale trade sectors, and a numberof revisions for the retail trade and information sectors. These changes are noted in industry defi-nitions and will be demonstrated in the Bridge Between NAICS 2002 and NAICS 1997.

For 2002, data for enterprise support establishments (those functioning primarily to support theactivities of their company’s operating establishments, such as a warehouse or a research anddevelopment laboratory) are included in the industry that reflects their activities (such as ware-housing). For 1997, such establishments were termed auxiliaries and were excluded from industrytotals.

BASIS OF REPORTING

The economic census is conducted on an establishment basis. A company operating at more thanone location is required to file a separate report for each store, factory, shop, or other location.Each establishment is assigned a separate industry classification based on its primary activity andnot that of its parent company. (For selected industries, only payroll, employment, and classifica-tion are collected for individual establishments, while other data are collected on a consolidatedbasis.)

GEOGRAPHIC AREA CODING

Accurate and complete information on the physical location of each establishment is required totabulate the census data for states, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, counties, andcorporate municipalities (places) including cities, towns, townships, villages, and boroughs.Respondents were required to report their physical location (street address, municipality, county,and state) if it differed from their mailing address. For establishments not surveyed by mail (andthose single-establishment companies that did not provide acceptable information on physicallocation), location information from administrative sources is used as a basis for coding.

AVAILABILITY OF ADDITIONAL DATA

All results of the 2002 Economic Census are available on the Census Bureau Internet site(www.census.gov) and on digital versatile discs (DVD-ROMs) for sale by the Census Bureau. TheAmerican FactFinder system at the Internet site allows selective retrieval and downloading of thedata. For more information, including a description of reports being issued, see the Internet site,write to the U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233-6100, or call Customer Services at 301-763-4100.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The economic census has been taken as an integrated program at 5-year intervals since 1967 andbefore that for 1954, 1958, and 1963. Prior to that time, individual components of the economiccensus were taken separately at varying intervals.

The economic census traces its beginnings to the 1810 Decennial Census, when questions onmanufacturing were included with those for population. Coverage of economic activities wasexpanded for the 1840 Decennial Census and subsequent censuses to include mining and somecommercial activities. The 1905 Manufactures Census was the first time a census was taken apart

vi Introduction 2002 Economic Census


from the regular decennial population census. Censuses covering retail and wholesale trade andconstruction industries were added in 1930, as were some service trades in 1933. Censuses ofconstruction, manufacturing, and the other business censuses were suspended during World WarII.

The 1954 Economic Census was the first census to be fully integrated, providing comparable cen-sus data across economic sectors and using consistent time periods, concepts, definitions, classi-fications, and reporting units. It was the first census to be taken by mail, using lists of firms pro-vided by the administrative records of other federal agencies. Since 1963, administrative recordsalso have been used to provide basic statistics for very small firms, reducing or eliminating theneed to send them census report forms.

The range of industries covered in the economic census expanded between 1967 and 2002. Thecensus of construction industries began on a regular basis in 1967, and the scope of serviceindustries, introduced in 1933, was broadened in 1967, 1977, and 1987. While a few transporta-tion industries were covered as early as 1963, it was not until 1992 that the census broadened toinclude all of transportation, communications, and utilities. Also new for 1992 was coverage offinancial, insurance, and real estate industries. With these additions, the economic census and theseparate census of governments and census of agriculture collectively covered roughly 98 percentof all economic activity. New for 2002 is coverage of four industries classified in the agriculture,forestry, and fishing sector under the SIC system: landscape architectural services, landscapingservices, veterinary services, and pet care services.

Printed statistical reports from the 1992 and earlier censuses provide historical figures for thestudy of long-term time series and are available in some large libraries. Reports for 1997 werepublished primarily on the Internet and copies of 1992 reports are also available there. CD-ROMsissued from the 1987, 1992, and 1997 Economic Censuses contain databases that include all ornearly all data published in print, plus additional statistics, such as ZIP Code statistics, publishedonly on CD-ROM.

viii Introduction 2002 Economic Census



SCOPE

The Health Care and Social Assistance sector (sector 62) comprises establishments providinghealth care and social assistance for individuals. The sector includes both health care and socialassistance because it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the boundaries of these twoactivities. The industries in this sector are arranged on a continuum starting with those establish-ments providing medical care exclusively, continuing with those providing health care and socialassistance, and finally, finishing with those providing only social assistance. The services providedby establishments in this sector are delivered by trained professionals. All industries in the sectorshare this commonality of process, namely, labor inputs of health practitioners or social workerswith the requisite expertise. Many of the industries in the sector are defined based on the educa-tional degree held by the practitioners included in the industry.

Excluded from this sector are aerobic classes in Subsector 713, Amusement, Gambling, and Recre-ation Industries and nonmedical diet and weight reducing centers in Subsector 812, Personal andLaundry Services. Although these can be viewed as health services, these services are not typi-cally delivered by health practitioners.

Data for this sector are shown for establishments of firms subject to federal income tax, and sepa-rately, of firms that are exempt from federal income tax under provisions of the Internal RevenueCode.

Many of the “kinds of business” included in this sector are not thought of as commercial busi-nesses and the terms (such as “business,” “establishment,” and “firm”) used to describe them maynot be descriptive of such services. However, these terms are applied to all “kinds of business” inorder to maintain conformity in the measures of the production and delivery of goods and ser-vices and in the presentation of data.

Exclusions. The tabulations for this sector do not include central administrative offices, ware-houses, or other establishments that serve health care and social assistance establishments withinthe same organization. Data for such establishments are classified according to the nature of theservice they provide. For example, separate headquarters establishments are reported in NAICSsector 55, Management of Companies and Enterprises.

The reports described below exclude establishments of firms with no paid employees. These“nonemployers,” typically self-employed individuals or partnerships operating businesses thatthey have not chosen to incorporate, are reported separately in Nonemployer Statistics. The con-tribution of nonemployers, relatively large for this sector, may be examined atwww.census.gov/nonemployerimpact.

Definitions. Industry categories are defined in Appendix B, NAICS Codes, Titles, and Descrip-tions. Other terms are defined in Appendix A, Explanation of Terms.

REPORTS

The following reports provide statistics on this sector.

Industry Series. There are four reports, each covering a group of related industries. The reportspresent, by kind of business for the United States, general statistics for establishments of firmswith payroll on number of establishments, receipts/revenue, expenses of tax-exempt establis-ments, payroll, and employment; comparative statistics for 2002 and 1997; product lines; andconcentration of business activity in the largest firms. The data in industry reports are preliminaryand subject to change in the following reports.

Health Care & Social Assistance v2002 Economic Census


Geographic Area Series. There is a separate report for each state, the District of Columbia, andthe United States. Each state report presents, for establishments of firms with payroll, general sta-tistics on number of establishments, receipts/revenue, expenses of tax-exempt establishments,payroll, and employment by kind of business for the state, metropolitan and micropolitan statisti-cal areas, counties, and places with 2,500 inhabitants or more. Greater kind-of-business detail isshown for larger areas. The United States report presents data for the United States as a whole fordetailed kind-of-business classifications.

Subject Series:

• Product Lines. This report presents product lines data for establishments of firms with payrollby kind of business. Data are presented for the United States and states. Establishments mayreport negative revenue for selected product lines. Because of this, percentages for productlines may be in excess of 100 or less than 0.

• Establishment and Firm Size (Including Legal Form of Organization). This report pre-sents receipts/revenue, payroll, and employment data for the United States by receipts/revenuesize, by employment size, and by legal form of organization for establishments of firms withpayroll; and by receipts/revenue size (including concentration by largest firms), by employmentsize, and by number of establishments operated (single units and multiunits) for firms with pay-roll.

• Miscellaneous Subjects. This report presents data for a variety of industry-specific topics forestablishments of firms with payroll. Presentation of data varies by kind of business.

ZIP Code Statistics. This report presents data for establishments of firms with payroll by UnitedStates ZIP Code.

Other reports. Data for this sector are also included in reports with multisector coverage, includ-ing Nonemployer Statistics, Comparative Statistics, Bridge Between 2002 NAICS and 1997 NAICS,Business Expenses, and the Survey of Business Owners reports.

GEOGRAPHIC AREAS COVERED

The level of geographic detail varies by report. Maps are available atwww.census.gov/econ2002maps. Notes specific to areas in the state are included in Appendix D,Geographic Notes. Data may be presented for –

1. The United States as a whole.

2. States and the District of Columbia.

3. Metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas. A core based statistical area (CBSA) contains acore area with a substantial population nucleus, together with adjacent communities having ahigh degree of social and economic integration with that core. CBSAs are differentiated intometropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas based on size criteria. Both metropolitan andmicropolitan statistical areas are defined in terms of entire counties, and are listed in Appen-dix E, Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas.

a. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (metro areas). Metro areas have at least one urbanized area of50,000 or more population, plus adjacent territory that has a high degree of social and eco-nomic integration with the core as measured by commuting ties.

b. Micropolitan Statistical Areas (micro areas). Micro areas have at least one urban cluster ofat least 10,000, but less than 50,000 population, plus adjacent territory that has a highdegree of social and economic integration with the core as measured by commuting ties.

c. Metropolitan Divisions (metro divisions). If specified criteria are met, a metro area contain-ing a single core with a population of 2.5 million or more may be subdivided to formsmaller groupings of counties referred to as Metropolitan Divisions.

vi Health Care & Social Assistance 2002 Economic Census


d. Combined Statistical Areas (combined areas). If specified criteria are met, adjacent metroand micro areas, in various combinations, may become the components of a new set ofareas called Combined Statistical Areas. The areas that combine retain their own designa-tions as metro or micro areas within the larger combined area.

4. Counties and county equivalents defined as of January 1, 2002. Counties are the primary divi-sions of states, except in Louisiana where they are called parishes and in Alaska where theyare called boroughs, census areas, and city and boroughs. Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, andVirginia have one place or more that is independent of any county organization and consti-tutes primary divisions of their states. These places are treated as counties and as places.

5. Economic places.

a. Municipalities of 2,500 inhabitants or more defined as of January 1, 2002. These are areasof significant population incorporated as cities, boroughs, villages, or towns according tothe 2000 Census of Population. For the economic census, boroughs, census areas, and cityand boroughs in Alaska and boroughs in New York are not included in this category.

b. Consolidated cities defined as of January 1, 2002. Consolidated cities are consolidated gov-ernments that consist of separately incorporated municipalities.

c. Townships in Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and towns in New York, Wisconsin,and the six New England states with 10,000 inhabitants or more (according to the 2000Census of Population).

d. Balance of county. Areas outside the entities listed above, including incorporated munici-palities with populations of fewer than 2,500, towns and townships not qualifying asnoted above, and the remainders of counties outside places are categorized as “Balance ofcounty.”

DOLLAR VALUES

All dollar values presented are expressed in current dollars; i.e., 2002 data are expressed in 2002dollars, and 1997 data, in 1997 dollars. Consequently, when making comparisons with prioryears, users of the data should consider the changes in prices that have occurred.

All dollar values are shown in thousands of dollars.

COMPARABILITY OF THE 1997 AND 2002 ECONOMIC CENSUSES

Both the 2002 Economic Census and the 1997 Economic Census present data based on the NorthAmerican Industry Classification System (NAICS). While there were revisions to some industries for2002, none of those affect this sector.

Data for this sector for 2002 include totals for taxable and tax-exempt businesses together, notpresent in 1997 reports. For 1997, only data for taxable establishments were shown at countyand place levels in the Geographic Area Series. For 2002, data for taxable and tax-exempt estab-lishments, as well as the combined totals, are shown at these geographic levels.

For 2002, the revenue data for tax-exempt establishments include gains or losses from the sale ofreal estate, investments, or other assets. In 1997, these gains or losses were excluded from rev-enue. Also, the 2002 expenses data for tax-exempt establishments exclude program servicegrants, contributions and gifts paid, specific assistance to individuals, and benefits paid to or formembers. In 1997, these types of expenses were included.

RELIABILITY OF DATA

All data compiled for this sector are subject to nonsampling errors. Nonsampling errors can beattributed to many sources: inability to identify all cases in the actual universe; definition andclassification difficulties; differences in the interpretation of questions; errors in recording or cod-ing the data obtained; and other errors of collection, response, coverage, processing, and estima-tion for missing or misreported data. Data presented in the Miscellaneous Subjects and ProductLines reports for this sector are subject to sampling errors, as well as nonsampling errors.

Health Care & Social Assistance vii2002 Economic Census


The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by the joint effects of the various nonsam-pling errors or by the joint effects of sampling and nonsampling errors. No direct measurement ofthese effects has been obtained except for estimation for missing or misreported data, as by thepercentages shown in the tables. Precautionary steps were taken in all phases of the collection,processing, and tabulation of the data in an effort to minimize the effects of nonsampling errors.More information on the reliability of the data is included in Appendix C, Methodology.

DISCLOSURE

In accordance with federal law governing census reports (Title 13 of the United States Code), nodata are published that would disclose the operations of an individual establishment or business.However, the number of establishments in a kind-of-business classification is not considered a dis-closure; therefore, this information may be released even though other information is withheld.Techniques employed to limit disclosure are discussed atwww.census.gov/epcd/ec02/disclosure.htm.

AVAILABILITY OF MORE FREQUENT ECONOMIC DATA

The Census Bureau conducts the Service Annual Survey (SAS) each year. This survey, while provid-ing more frequent observations, yields less kind-of-business and geographic detail than the eco-nomic census. In addition, the County Business Patterns program offers annual statistics on thenumber of establishments, employment, and payroll classified by industry within each county,and Statistics of U.S. Businesses program provides annual statistics classified by the employmentsize of the enterprise, further classified by industry for the United States, and by broader catego-ries for states and metropolitan areas.

Appendix A.Explanation of Terms

ANNUAL PAYROLL

Payroll includes all forms of compensation such as salaries, wages, commissions, dismissal pay,bonuses, vacation allowances, sick-leave pay, and employee contributions to qualified pensionplans paid during the year to all employees and reported on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form941 as taxable Medicare Wages and tips (even if not subject to income or FICA tax). Also includedare tips and gratuities received by employees from patrons and reported to employers. If anemployee works at more than one location, the payroll is included in the one location where theyspend most of their time. Also included are salaries of members of professional service organiza-tions or associations that operate under state professional corporation statutes and file a corpo-rate federal income tax return. Excluded are payrolls of departments or concessions operated byother companies at the establishment; payments to or withdrawals by proprietors or partners ofan unincorporated company; and annuities or supplemental unemployment compensation ben-efits, even if income tax was withheld. Payroll is reported before deductions for social security,income tax, insurance, union dues, etc. This definition of payroll is the same as that used by theIRS on Form 941.

ESTABLISHMENTS

An establishment is a single physical location at which business is conducted and/or services areprovided. It is not necessarily identical to a company or enterprise, which may consist of oneestablishment or more. Economic census figures represent a summary of reports for individualestablishments rather than companies. For cases where a census report was received, separateinformation was obtained for each location where business was conducted. When administrativerecords of other federal agencies were used instead of a census report, no information was avail-able on the number of locations operated. Each economic census establishment was tabulatedaccording to the physical location at which the business was conducted. The count of establish-ments represents those in business at any time during 2002.

When two activities or more were carried on at a single location under a single ownership, allactivities generally were grouped together as a single establishment. The entire establishmentwas classified on the basis of its major activity and all data for it were included in that classifica-tion. However, when distinct and separate economic activities (for which different industry classi-fication codes were appropriate) were conducted at a single location under a single ownership,separate establishment reports for each of the different activities were obtained in the census.

Leased service departments (separately owned businesses operated as departments or conces-sions of other service establishments or of retail businesses, such as a separately owned shoe-shine parlor in a barber shop, or a beauty shop in a department store) are treated as separate ser-vice establishments for census purposes. Leased retail departments located in serviceestablishments (e.g., a gift shop located in a hotel) are considered separate retail establishments.

EXPENSES

Expenses include payroll, employee benefits, payroll taxes, interest and rent expenses; cost ofsupplies used for operation; cost of merchandise sold; depreciation expenses; fundraisingexpenses; contracted or purchased services; and other expenses charged to operations during2002. Expenses exclude program service grants; contributions and gifts paid; specified assistanceto individuals; benefits paid to or for members; outlays for the purchase of real estate; construc-tion and all other capital improvements; funds invested; assessments or dues paid to the parent

or other chapters of the same organization; income taxes; sales and other taxes collected directlyfrom customers or clients and paid directly to a local, state, or federal tax agency; and, for fund-raising organizations, funds transferred to charities and other organizations.

PAID EMPLOYEES FOR PAY PERIOD INCLUDING MARCH 12

Paid employees consist of full- and part-time employees, including salaried officers and executivesof corporations, who were on the payroll during the pay period including March 12. Included areemployees on paid sick leave, paid holidays, and paid vacations, and salaried members of profes-sional service organizations or associations that operate under state professional corporation stat-utes and file corporate federal income tax returns. Not included are proprietors and partners ofunincorporated businesses; employees of departments or concessions operated by other compa-nies at the establishment; full- and part-time leased employees whose payroll was filed under anemployee leasing company’s Employer Identification Number (EIN); and temporary staffingobtained from a staffing service. The definition of paid employees is the same as that used by theInternal Revenue Service (IRS) on Form 941.

RECEIPTS/REVENUE

Receipts (basic dollar volume measure for service establishments of firms subject to federalincome tax). Includes gross receipts from customers or clients for services provided, from the useof facilities, and from merchandise sold in 2002 whether or not payment was received in 2002.For advertising agencies, travel industries, and other service establishments operating on a com-mission basis, receipts include commissions, fees, and other operating income, NOT gross billingsand sales. Excise taxes on gasoline, liquor, tobacco, etc., that are paid by the manufacturer orwholesaler and passed on in the cost of goods purchased by the service establishment, are alsoincluded. The establishment’s share of receipts from departments, concessions, and vending andamusement machines operated by others are included as part of receipts. Receipts also includeamounts received from the rental and leasing of vehicles, equipment, instruments, and tools; thetotal value of service contracts; market value of compensation received in lieu of cash; amountsreceived for work subcontracted to others; and dues and assessments from members and affili-ates. Receipts from services performed for foreign parent firms, subsidiaries, and branches areincluded.

Receipts are net after deductions for refunds and allowances for merchandise returned by custom-ers.

Appendix C.Methodology

SOURCES OF THE DATA

For this sector, large- and medium-size firms, plus all firms known to operate more than oneestablishment, were sent report forms to be completed for each of their establishments andreturned to the Census Bureau. For most very small firms, data from existing administrativerecords of other federal agencies were used instead. These records provide basic information onlocation, kind of business, receipts/revenue, payroll, number of employees, and legal form oforganization.

Firms in the 2002 Economic Census are divided into those sent report forms and those not sentreport forms. The coverage of and the method of obtaining census information from each aredescribed below:

1. Establishments sent a report form:

a. Large employers, i.e., all multiestablishment firms, and all employer firms with payrollabove a specified cutoff. (The term “employers” refers to firms with one or more paidemployees at any time during 2002 as shown in the active administrative records of otherfederal agencies.)

b. A sample of small employers, i.e., single-establishment firms with payroll below a specifiedcutoff in classifications for which specialized data precludes reliance solely on administra-tive records sources. The sample was stratified by industry and geography.

2. Establishments not sent a report form:

a. Small employers, i.e., single-establishment firms with payroll below a specified cutoff, notselected into the small employer sample. Although the payroll cutoff varies by kind of busi-ness, small employers not sent a report form generally include firms with less than 10employees and represent about 10 percent of total receipts/revenue of establishments cov-ered in the census. Data on receipts/revenue, payroll, and employment for these smallemployers were derived or estimated from administrative records of other federal agen-cies.

b. All taxable nonemployers, i.e., all firms subject to federal income tax with no paid employ-ees during 2002. Receipts information for these firms was obtained from administrativerecords of other federal agencies. Although consisting of many firms, nonemployersaccount for less than 10 percent of total receipts of all establishments covered in the cen-sus. Data for nonemployers are not included in this report, but are released in the annualNonemployer Statistics series.

The report forms used to collect information for establishments in this sector are available athelp.econ.census.gov/econhelp/resources/.

A more detailed examination of census methodology is presented in the History of the EconomicCensus at www.census.gov/econ/www/history.html.

INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION OF ESTABLISHMENTS

The classifications for all establishments are based on the North American Industry ClassificationSystem, United States, 2002 manual. There were no changes between the 2002 edition and the1997 edition affecting this sector. Tables at www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/ identify all industriesthat changed between the 1997 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and 2002NAICS.

Appendix C C–1Health Care & Social Assistance


The method of assigning classifications and the level of detail at which establishments were clas-sified depends on whether a report form was obtained for the establishment.

1. Establishments that returned a report form were classified on the basis of their self-designation, product line receipts/revenue, and responses to other industry-specific inquiries.

2. Establishments without a report form:

a. Small employers not sent a form were, where possible, classified on the basis of the mostcurrent kind-of-business classification available from one of the Census Bureau’s currentsample surveys or the 1997 Economic Census. Otherwise, the classification was obtainedfrom administrative records of other federal agencies. If the census or administrativerecord classifications proved inadequate (none corresponded to a 2002 Economic Censusclassification in the detail required for employers), the firm was sent a brief inquiryrequesting information necessary to assign a kind-of-business code.

b. Nonemployers were classified on the basis of information obtained from administrativerecords of other federal agencies.

METHOD OF ASSIGNING TAX STATUS

For kind-of-business classifications where there were substantial numbers of taxable and tax-exempt establishments, establishments were classified based on the federal income tax filingrequirement for the establishment or organization. This classification was based primarily on theresponse to an inquiry on the census report form. Establishments that indicated that all or part oftheir income was exempt from federal income tax under provisions of section 501 of the InternalRevenue Service (IRS) code were classified as tax-exempt; establishments indicating no suchexemption were classified as taxable. All government-operated hospitals were classified as tax-exempt. For establishments without a report form, the tax status classification was based onadministrative records of other federal agencies.

For selected kind-of-business classifications that are comprised primarily of tax-exempt establish-ments, all establishments in those classifications were defined as tax-exempt. All establishmentsin the remaining kind-of-business classifications (comprised primarily of taxable establishments)were defined as taxable.

RELIABILITY OF DATA

All data compiled in the economic census are subject to nonsampling errors. Nonsampling errorscan be attributed to many sources during the development or execution of the census:

• inability to identify all cases in the actual universe;

• definition and classification difficulties;

• differences in the interpretation of questions;

• errors in recording or coding the data obtained; and

• other errors of collection, response, coverage, processing, and estimation for missing or misre-ported data.

Data presented in the Miscellaneous Subjects and the Product Lines reports for this sector are sub-ject to sampling errors, as well as nonsampling errors. Specifically, these data are estimated basedon information obtained from census report forms mailed to all large employers and to a sampleof small employers in the universe. Sampling errors affect these estimates, insofar, as they maydiffer from results that would be obtained from a complete enumeration.

The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by the joint effects of the various nonsam-pling errors or by the joint effects of sampling and nonsampling errors. No direct measurement ofthese effects has been obtained except for estimation for missing or misreported data; however,precautionary steps were taken in all phases of the collection, processing, and tabulation of thedata in an effort to minimize the effects of nonsampling errors.

C–2 Appendix C Health Care & Social Assistance


The Census Bureau obtains limited information extracted from administrative records of other fed-eral agencies, such as gross receipts from federal income tax records and employment and payrollfrom payroll tax records. This information is used in conjunction with other information availableto the Census Bureau to develop estimates for nonemployers, small employers, and other estab-lishments for which responses were not received in time for publication.

Key tables in this report include a column for “Percent of receipts/revenue from administrativerecords.” This includes receipts/revenue information obtained from administrative records ofother federal agencies. The “Percent of receipts/revenue estimated” includes receipts/revenueinformation that was imputed based on historic company ratios or administrative records, or onindustry averages.

The Census Bureau recommends that data users incorporate this information into their analyses,as nonsampling error and sampling error could impact the conclusions drawn from economic cen-sus data.

TREATMENT OF NONRESPONSE

Census report forms included two different types of inquiries, “basic” and “industry-specific.” Datafor the basic inquiries, which include location, kind of business or operation, receipts/revenue,payroll, and number of employees, were available from a combination of sources for all establish-ments. Data for industry-specific inquiries, tailored to the particular kinds of business or operationcovered by the report form, were available only from establishments responding to those inquir-ies.

Data for industry-specific inquiries in this sector were expanded in most cases to account forestablishments that did not respond to the particular inquiry for which data are presented. Unlessotherwise noted in specific reports, data for industry-specific inquiries were expanded in directrelationship to total receipts/revenue of all establishments included in the category. In a fewcases, expansion on the basis of the receipts/revenue was not appropriate, and another basic dataitem was used as the basis for expansion of reported data to account for nonrespondents.

All reports in which industry-specific data were expanded include a coverage indicator for eachpublication category, which shows the receipts/revenue of establishments responding to theindustry-specific inquiry as a percent of total receipts/revenue for all establishments for whichdata are shown. For some inquiries, coverage is determined by the ratio of total payroll oremployment of establishments responding to the inquiry to total payroll or employment of allestablishments in the category.

DISCLOSURE

In accordance with federal law governing census reports (Title 13 of the United States Code), nodata are published that would disclose the operations of an individual establishment or business.However, the number of establishments in a kind-of-business classification is not considered a dis-closure; therefore, this information may be released even though other information is withheld.Techniques employed to limit disclosure are discussed atwww.census.gov/epcd/ec02/disclosure.htm.
