    Survey of Business Owners Hispanic�Owned Firms vU.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census

  • Introduction

    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.

    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.)

    The Survey of Business Owners (SBO) is conducted on a company or firm basis rather than anestablishment basis. A company or firm is a business consisting of one or more domestic estab-lishments that the reporting firm specified under its ownership or control at the end of 2002.

    The SBO covers both firms with paid employees and firms with no paid employees. Althoughfirms with no paid employees are included in this survey, they are omitted from many of the eco-nomic census reports. Because of the inclusion of firms with no paid employees, caution shouldbe exercised in comparing data presented in this report with published or unpublished data fromother reports of the 2002 Economic Census.

    INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATIONS

    Data from the 2002 SBO are summarized by kind of business based on the 2002 North AmericanIndustry Classification System (NAICS). The 2002 SBO includes all firms operating during 2002with receipts of $1,000 or more which are classified in one or more of the following NAICS sec-tors:

    11 Forestry, Fishing and Hunting, and Agricultural Support Services (NAICS 113–115)21 Mining22 Utilities23 Construction

    The 20 NAICS sectors are subdivided into 96 subsectors (three-digit codes) and 317 industrygroups (four-digit codes). Selected NAICS industries are defined in Appendix B, NAICS Codes,Titles, and Descriptions.

    The following NAICS industries are not covered in the 2002 SBO:

    • crop and animal production (NAICS 111, 112)

    • scheduled air transportation (NAICS 4811, part)

    • rail transportation (NAICS 482)

    • postal service (NAICS 491)

    • funds, trusts, and other financial vehicles (NAICS 525), except real estate investment trusts(NAICS 525930)

    • religious, grantmaking, civic, professional, and similar organizations (NAICS 813)

    • private households (NAICS 814), and

    • public administration (NAICS 92).

    NAICS 11 and 99 are in scope of the SBO, but out of scope of the economic census. NAICS 525and 813 are within the scope of the economic census, but out of the scope of the SBO. Therefore,caution should be exercised in comparing data presented in this report with published or unpub-lished data from other reports of the 2002 Economic Census.

    RELATIONSHIP TO HISTORICAL INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATIONS

    Prior to the 2002 SBO, data were published according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)system. NAICS identifies new industries, redefines concepts, and develops classifications to reflectchanges in the economy. While many of the individual NAICS industries correspond directly toindustries as defined under the SIC system, most of the higher level groupings do not. Particularcare should be taken in comparing data for construction, manufacturing, retail trade, and whole-sale trade, which are sector titles used in both the NAICS and SIC systems, but cover somewhatdifferent groups of industries. A description and comparison of the NAICS and SIC systems can befound in the 2002 NAICS and 1987 Correspondence Tables on the Internet atwww.census.gov/epcd/naics02/N02TOS87.HTM.

    CLASSIFICATION BY RECEIPTS SIZE AND EMPLOYMENT SIZE OF FIRM

    The size categories, both by receipts and employment, are based on the total nationwide receiptsand/or employment of the firm. A firm is a business organization or entity consisting of onedomestic establishment (location) or more under common ownership or control. All establish-ments of subsidiary firms are included as part of the owning or controlling firm. For the economiccensus, the terms ‘‘firm’’ and ‘‘company’’ are synonymous.

    Introduction viiSurvey of Business Owners

    U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census

  • The revenue and employment of a multi-unit firm is determined by summing the receipts andemployment, respectively, of all associated establishments. The receipts size and employmentsize of a firm are determined by the summed revenue or employment of all associated establish-ments. The employment size group 0 includes firms for which no associated establishmentsreported paid employees in the mid-March pay period, but paid employees at some time duringthe year.

    Receipts size and employment size are determined for the entire company. Hence, counterintui-tive results are possible, for example, only 100 employees in a category of firms with 500employees or more in a particular industry.

    GEOGRAPHIC AREA CODING

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

    The 2002 SBO data are presented for the United States, each state and the District of Columbia;metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; counties; and corporate municipalities (places)including cities, towns, townships, villages, and boroughs with 100 or more minority- or women-owned firms. Although collected on a company basis, data are published such that firms withmore than one domestic establishment are counted in each geographic area in which they oper-ate. The employment, payroll, and receipts reflect the sum of their locations within the specifiedgeography and are, therefore, additive to higher levels. The sum of firms, however, reflects allfirms in a given tabulation level and are not additive. For example, a firm with operating locationsin two counties will be counted in both counties, but only once in the state total.

    GEOGRAPHIC AREAS COVERED

    The level of geographic detail varies by report. Notes specific to areas in the state are included inAppendix 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.

    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.

    U.S. Census Bureau, 2002 Economic Census

  • 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. Places are municipalities of 2,500 inhabitants or more defined as of January 1, 2002. Theseare areas of significant population incorporated as cities, boroughs, villages, or towns accord-ing to the 2000 Census of Population. For the economic census, boroughs, census areas, andcity and boroughs in Alaska and boroughs in New York are not included in this category.

    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 apartfrom 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.

    The Survey of Business Owners, formerly known as the Survey of Minority-Owned Business Enter-prises, was first conducted as a special project in 1969 and was incorporated into the economiccensus in 1972 along with the Survey of Women-Owned Businesses.

    An economic census has also been taken in Puerto Rico since 1909, in the Virgin Islands of theUnited States and Guam since 1958, in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands since1982, and in American Samoa for the first time as part of the 2002 Economic Census.

    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 nearlyall data published in print, plus additional statistics, such as ZIP Code statistics, published only onCD-ROM.

  • DOLLAR VALUES

    All dollar values presented in the SBO reports are expressed in current dollars, i.e, 2002 data areexpressed in 2002 dollars and 1997 data in 1997 dollars. Consequently, when making compari-sons to prior years, data users should take into consideration the inflation that has occurred.

    COMPARABILITY OF THE 1997 AND 2002 SBO DATA

    The data presented in the 2002 SBO are based on the 2002 NAICS. Previous data were presentedaccording to the SIC system developed in the 1930s. Due to this change, comparability betweencensus years is limited (see Relationship to Historical Industry Classifications section).

    The 2002 SBO covers more of the economy than any previous survey. New for 2002 are data oninformation, finance and insurance, real estate, and health-care industries. The scope of the cen-sus includes virtually all sectors of the economy.

    Additional information about NAICS is available from the Census Bureau Internet site atwww.census.gov/naics.

    More information on the comparability of the SBO data is included in Appendix C, Methodology.

    RELIABILITY OF ESTIMATES

    The figures shown in this report are, in part, estimated from a sample and will differ from the fig-ures which would have been obtained from a complete census. Two types of possible errors areassociated with estimates based on data from sample surveys: sampling errors and nonsamplingerrors. The accuracy of a survey result depends not only on the sampling errors and nonsamplingerrors measured, but also on the nonsampling errors not explicitly measured. For particular esti-mates, the total error may considerably exceed the measured errors. More information on the reli-ability 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 firms in a kind-of-business or industry classification is not considered adisclosure; 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.

    The information and data obtained from the Internal Revenue Service, the Social Security Adminis-tration, and other sources are also treated as confidential and can be seen only by Census Bureauemployees sworn to protect the data from disclosure.

  • Table 2. Statistics for Hispanic�Owned Firms by State and Kind of Business: 2002�Con.[Includes firms with paid employees and firms with no paid employees. The U.S. totals are based on the 2002 Economic Census, whereas the gender, Hispanic or Latino origin, and race estimates arebased on the 2002 Survey of Business Owners (see Appendix C for information on survey methodology and sampling error). Detail may not add to total because a Hispanic or Latino firm may be of anyrace. Moreover, each owner had the option of selecting more than one race and therefore is included in each race selected. Firms with more than one domestic establishment are counted in each stateand industry in which they operate, but only once in the U.S. total.
