Practices

2024

• Larger sample size coincides
with the economic census
every five years
• Serves as a benchmark
• Allows more detail to be
provided for the demographics
data (including additional
NAICS, geography levels, and
detailed race)
• More data are available as
provided by the econ census
• Smaller sample size is needed
to reduce respondent burden
and operations burden
• Allows for higher level NAICS
and geography detail
• No new data available from
the economic census
• Data are from Business
Register and County Business
Patterns (however, receipts
are not available in noncensus year)
• Nonprofits may receive other
modules as determined during
content planning
