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 the Nation’s economy. It

provides essential information for government, business,

industry, and the general public.

The economic census furnishes an important part of the

framework for such composite measures as the gross

domestic product, input/output measures, production and

price indexes, and other statistical series that measure

short-term changes in economic conditions.

Policymaking agencies of the Federal Government use

the data, especially in monitoring economic activity and

providing assistance to business.

State and local governments use the data to assess

business activities and tax bases within their jurisdictions

and to develop programs to attract business.

Trade associations study trends in their own and competing industries and keep their members informed of

market changes.

Individual businesses use the data to locate potential

markets and to analyze their own production and sales

performance relative to industry or area averages.

AUTHORITY AND SCOPE

Title 13 of the United States Code (sections 131, 191,

and 224) directs the Census Bureau to take the economic

census every 5 years, covering years ending in 2 and 7.

The 1992 Economic Census consists of the following eight

censuses:

• Census of Retail Trade

• Census of Wholesale Trade

• Census of Service Industries

• Census of Financial, Insurance, and Real Estate

Industries

• Census of Transportation, Communications, and

Utilities

• Census of Manufactures

• Census of Mineral Industries

• Census of Construction Industries

Special programs also cover enterprise statistics and

minority-owned and women-owned businesses. (The 1992

Census of Agriculture and 1992 Census of Governments

are conducted separately.) The next economic census is

scheduled to be taken in 1998 covering the year 1997.

AVAILABILITY OF THE DATA

The results of the economic census are available in

printed reports for sale by the U.S. Government Printing

Office and on compact discs for sale by the Census

Bureau. Order forms for all types of products are available

on request from Customer Services, Bureau of the Census,

Washington, DC 20233-8300. A more complete description of publications being issued from this census is on the

inside back cover of this document.

Census facts are also widely disseminated by trade

associations, business journals, and newspapers. Volumes containing census statistics are available in most

major public and college libraries. Finally, State data

centers in every State as well as business and industry

data centers in many States also supply economic census

statistics.

WHAT’S NEW IN 1992

The 1992 Economic Census covers more of the economy

than any previous census. New for 1992 are data on

communications, utilities, finance, insurance, and real estate,

as well as coverage of more transportation industries. The

economic, agriculture, and governments censuses now

collectively cover nearly 98 percent of all economic activity.

Among other changes, new 1992 definitions affect the

boundaries of about a third of all metropolitan areas. Also,

the Survey of Women-Owned Businesses has now been

expanded to include all corporations.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The economic census has been taken as an integrated

program at 5-year intervals since 1967 and before that for

1963, 1958, and 1954. Prior to that time, the individual

subcomponents of the economic census were taken separately at varying intervals.

The economic census traces its beginnings to the 1810

Decennial Census, when questions on manufacturing were

included with those for population. Coverage of economic

activities was expanded for 1840 and subsequent censuses to include mining and some commercial activities. In

1902, Congress established a permanent Census Bureau

and directed that a census of manufactures be taken every

5 years. The 1905 Manufactures Census was the first time

a census was taken apart from the regular every-10-year

population census.

The first census of business was taken in 1930, covering 1929. Initially it covered retail and wholesale trade and

construction industries, but it was broadened in 1933 to

include some of the service trades.

The 1954 Economic Census was the first census to be

fully integrated—providing comparable census data across

economic sectors, using consistent time periods, concepts, definitions, classifications, and reporting units. It

was the first census to be taken by mail, using lists of firms

provided by the administrative records of other Federal

agencies. Since 1963, administrative records also have

been used to provide basic statistics for very small firms,

reducing or eliminating the need to send them census

questionnaires. The Enterprise Statistics Program, which

publishes combined data from the economic census, was

made possible with the implementation of the integrated

census program in 1954.

The range of industries covered in the economic censuses has continued to expand. The census of construction industries began on a regular basis in 1967, and the

scope of service industries was broadened in 1967, 1977,

and 1987. The census of transportation began in 1963 as

a set of surveys covering travel, transportation of commodities, and trucks, but expanded in 1987 to cover business

establishments in several transportation industries. For

1992, these statistics are incorporated into a broadened

census of transportation, communications, and utilities.

Also new for 1992 is the census of financial, insurance,

and real estate industries. This is part of a gradual expansion in coverage of industries previously subjected to

government regulation.

The Survey of Minority-Owned Business Enterprises

was first conducted as a special project in 1969 and was

incorporated into the economic census 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 the United States

and Guam since 1958, and in the Commonwealth of the

Northern Mariana Islands since 1982.

Statistical reports from the 1987 and earlier censuses

provide historical figures for the study of long-term time

series and are available in some large libraries. All of the

census data published since 1967 are still available for

sale on microfiche from the Census Bureau.

AVAILABILITY OF MORE FREQUENT

ECONOMIC DATA

While the census provides complete enumerations every

5 years, there are many needs for more frequent data as

well. The Census Bureau conducts a number of monthly,

quarterly, and annual surveys, with the results appearing in

publication series such as Current Business Reports (retail

and wholesale trade and service industries), the Annual

Survey of Manufactures, Current Industrial Reports, and

the Quarterly Financial Report. Most of these surveys,

while providing more frequent observations, yield less

kind-of-business and geographic detail than the census.

The County Business Patterns program offers annual

statistics on the number of establishments, employment,

and payroll classified by industry within each county.

SOURCES FOR MORE INFORMATION

More information about the scope, coverage, classification system, data items, and publications for each of the

economic censuses and related surveys is published in the

Guide to the 1992 Economic Census and Related Statistics. More information on the methodology, procedures,

and history of the census will be published in the History of

the 1992 Economic Census. Contact Customer Services

for information on availability.

Census of Retail Trade

GENERAL

The 1992 Census of Retail Trade, part of the 1992

Economic Census, covered retail trade as defined in the

Standard Industrial Classification Manual: 19871 (SIC). It

included all establishments primarily engaged in selling

merchandise for personal or household consumption and

rendering services incidental to the sale of the goods. The

census excluded governmental organizations classified in

the covered industries except for liquor stores operated by

State and local governments. Data for direct sellers (SIC

5963) with no paid employees and post exchanges, ship

stores, and similar establishments operated on military

posts by agencies of the Federal Government were not

included. The basic tabulations in this report do not include

data for establishments which are auxiliary (primary function is providing a service, such as warehouses) to retail

establishments within the same organization. Data for

auxiliaries are presented in a subsequent report issued as

part of the 1992 Enterprise Statistics reports.

For the 1992 Census of Retail Trade, large- and mediumsize firms, plus all firms known to operate more than one

establishment, were sent questionnaires to be completed

and returned to the Census Bureau by mail. For most very

small firms, including those with no paid employees, data

from existing administrative records of other Federal agencies were used instead. These records provided basic

information on location, kind of business, sales, payroll,

number of employees, and legal form of organization. In

addition, more detailed information for selected kinds of

business was obtained on the various questionnaires.

Appendix A gives a more detailed explanation of census

coverage and methodology.

CENSUS DISCLOSURE RULES

In accordance with Federal law governing census reports,

no data 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 disclosure; therefore, this information may be released even though other information is

withheld.

GEOGRAPHIC AREAS COVERED

This report series presents data for the following areas:

1. The United States as a whole.

2. Each State and the District of Columbia.

3. Each consolidated metropolitan statistical area (CMSA)

and primary metropolitan statistical area (PMSA) defined

by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as of

June 30, 1993. A CMSA is an area used to facilitate

the presentation and analysis of data for large concentrations of metropolitan populations. It includes

two or more contiguous PMSA’s which have a population of at least 1,000,0002 and which meet specific

criteria of urban character and of social and economic

integration.

4. Each metropolitan statistical area (MSA) defined by

the OMB as of June 30, 1993. An MSA is an integrated

economic and social unit with a population nucleus of

at least 50,000 inhabitants.2 Each MSA consists of

one or more counties meeting standards of metropolitan character; in New England, cities and towns rather

than counties are the component geographic units.

5. The area within the State outside metropolitan areas

(MA’s).

6. Each county or county equivalent.3 Counties are the

primary divisions of States, except in Louisiana where

they are called parishes and in Alaska where they are

called boroughs and census areas. Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia have one place or more

that is independent of any county organization and

constitutes primary divisions of their States. These

places are treated as counties and as places.

7. Each consolidated city.3 Consolidated cities are consolidated governments which consist of separately

incorporated municipalities.

8. Each municipality of 2,500 inhabitants or more incorporated as a city, borough, village, or town.2 3 For

the economic census, boroughs and census areas in

Alaska and boroughs in New York are not included in

this category.

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.4

DOLLAR VALUES

All dollar values presented in this report are expressed

in current dollars; i.e., 1992 data are expressed in 1992

dollars and 1987 data in 1987 dollars. Consequently, when

making comparisons to prior years, users of the data

should consider the inflation that has occurred.

RELIABILITY OF DATA

All data compiled in this report originated from either

census questionnaires or administrative records of other

Federal agencies and, therefore, are not subject to sampling errors. However, the data are subject to nonsampling

errors. Nonsampling errors can be attributed to many

sources: 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, and estimation for missing or misreported data.

The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by

the joint effects of the various nonsampling errors. No

direct measurement of these 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 the data in an

effort to minimize the effects of nonsampling errors.

The Census Bureau obtains on computer tape limited

information extracted from administrative records of other

Federal agencies. This information is used in conjunction

with other information available to the Census Bureau to

develop estimates for nonemployers, small employers,

and other establishments for which responses were not

received in time for publication. For an indication of the

extent that data included in these reports were obtained

from the administrative records of other Federal agencies

and from estimation, rather than reports directly from

respondents, see appendix E. Also, see appendix A for a

more detailed explanation of census coverage and methodology.

SPECIAL TABULATIONS

Special tabulations of data collected in the 1992 Census

of Retail Trade may be obtained, depending on availability

of time and personnel, on diskette, computer tape, or in

tabular form. The data will be in summary form and subject

to the same rules prohibiting disclosure of confidential

information (including name, address, kind of business, or

other data for individual business establishments or companies) as are the regular publications.

Special tabulations are prepared on a cost basis. A

request for a cost estimate, as well as exact specifications

on the type and format of the data to be provided, should

be directed to the Chief, Services Division, Bureau of the

Census, Washington, DC 20233.

Summary of Findings

Data from the 1992 Census of Retail Trade show that

West Virginia’s 10,480 retail stores with payroll had sales

totaling $11.2 billion. In 1987, 10,737 retail stores had

sales of $9.0 billion. The 1992 data represent an increase

of 24.0 percent in total retail sales for the State.

For establishments with payroll in 1992, sales of grocery

stores accounted for 22.3 percent of the State’s total sales

by retailers compared with 23.3 percent in 1987. Other

leading retail kinds of business in 1992 were new and used

car dealers with 17.5 percent of sales, department stores

(including leased departments) with 11.7 percent, and

gasoline service stations with 8.6 percent.

For 1992, sales for establishments with payroll in the

State averaged $1.1 million per establishment, compared

with $841 thousand in 1987. In 1992, department stores

(including leased departments) averaged $12.3 million per

establishment; new and used car dealers, $8.1 million;

lumber and other building materials dealers, $2.3 million;

grocery stores, $1.9 million; and miscellaneous general

merchandise stores, $1.6 million.

For retail establishments with payroll, 1992 sales per

employee averaged $100 thousand. New and used car

dealers had sales per employee of $309 thousand, which

contrasts sharply with the $25 thousand per employee

average for restaurants.

The 1992 payroll of retailers in the State amounted to

$1.2 billion, compared with $994 million for 1987. Payroll

as a percent of sales of establishments with payroll

averaged 10.8 percent for all retailers, 29.3 percent for

retail bakeries, compared with 5.7 percent for gasoline

service stations.

There were 112,070 paid employees (full- and part-time)

engaged in retail trade in the State as of mid-March 1992,

compared with 109,220 employees in 1987. Large employers included grocery stores with 20,304 employees, refreshment places with 17,942 employees, and restaurants with

12,949 employees.

Appendix A.

General Explanation

CENSUS COVERAGE AND METHODOLOGY

Structure and method of enumeration. Firms in the

1992 Census of Retail Trade were divided into the nonmail

universe and mail universe. The coverage and the method

of obtaining census information from each follow:

1. The nonmail universe consisted of firms which were

not required to file a regular census return and included:

a. All nonemployers, i.e., all firms with no paid employment during 1992. Sales information for these firms

was obtained from administrative records of other

Federal agencies. Although consisting of many

firms, nonemployers account for less than 5 percent of total retail sales.

The census included only those retail nonemployer firms which reported a sales volume of

$1,000 or more during 1992.

Data on nonemployers are provided in subsequent 1992 Census of Retail Trade reports; Nonemployer Statistics (RC92-N-1) and Selected Statistics (RC92-SP-1).

b. Selected small employers, i.e., single-establishment

firms with payroll below a specified cutoff. (The

term ‘‘employers’’ refers to all business firms with

one or more paid employees at any time during

1992 as shown in the active administrative records

of other Federal agencies.) Although the payroll

cutoff varied by kind of business, small employers

generally included firms with one to four employees

and represented about 10 percent of total retail

sales of establishments covered in the census.

Data on sales, payroll, and employment for employer

firms below the payroll cutoff were derived or

estimated from administrative records of other Federal agencies except for a sample of small employer

firms. This sample was included in the mail universe.

2. The mail universe consisted of firms for which information was obtained by means of a mail canvass and

included:

a. Large employers; i.e., all multiestablishment firms

and all employer firms above the payroll size cutoff

referred to in section 1b. Within this category, a

report of company organization was conducted

periodically to identify firms which operated establishments at more than one location and to obtain

information on payroll and mid-March employment

at each location. The 1991 Report of Company

Organization was used as a coverage check in the

census. In the 1992 census, all multiestablishment

firms were asked to notify the Census Bureau of

any establishments for which a form was not received.

Report forms were subsequently provided to the

firms for these establishments.

b. A sample of small employer firms referred to in

section 1b. These firms were sent the census

mailing packages containing the appropriate 1992

questionnaire. For the retail trade sector, the overall

sample of small employer firms was 20.6 percent

which varied by kind of business.

Method of classifying kinds of business. The retail

trade classifications for all establishments were based on

the Standard Industrial Classification Manual: 19871 (SIC).

However, the method of assigning these classifications,

and the level of detail at which establishments were

classified, differed between the nonmail and mail universe

as follows:

1. The nonmail universe.

a. Nonemployers were classified on the basis of information obtained from administrative records of other

Federal agencies.

b. Selected small employers were classified on the

basis of the most current census kind-of-business

classification available from one of the Census

Bureau’s current sample surveys or the 1987 census. Otherwise, the classification was obtained

from administrative records of other Federal agencies.

If the census or administrative record classifications proved inadequate (none corresponded to a

1992 census classification in the detail required for

employers), the firm was sent a brief inquiry requesting information necessary to assign a 1992 census

kind-of-business code.

2. Establishments in the mail universe were classified on

the basis of their self-designation, answers to questions on sales by merchandise line, and other special

inquiries.

COMPARABILITY OF THE 1987 AND 1992

CENSUSES

The 1987 and 1992 censuses were conducted under

similar conditions and procedures except for the following:

Geographic areas. The boundaries of a number of areas

for which data are shown in the 1992 census are not the

same as in the 1987 census because of annexations; other

boundary changes; and redefinitions of metropolitan statistical areas (MSA’s), primary metropolitan statistical areas

(PMSA’s), and consolidated metropolitan statistical areas

(CMSA’s).2 In addition, data for consolidated cities are

included in the 1992 census.

Data for special economic urban areas (SEUA’s) with

10,000 inhabitants or more in Michigan, Minnesota, New

York, and Wisconsin qualified for publication in the 1992

census. This included townships in Michigan and Minnesota and towns in New York and Wisconsin. However,

Minnesota did not have any townships that met the

publication criteria.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Establishments. An establishment is a single physical

location at which business is conducted. It is not necessarily identical with a company or enterprise, which may

consist of one establishment or more. Census of retail

trade figures represent a summary of reports for individual

establishments rather than companies. For cases where a

census report was received, separate information was

obtained for each location where business was conducted.

When administrative records of other Federal agencies

were used instead of a census report, no information was

available on the number of locations operated. Estimates

of this number were derived from a sample and are

provided in the retail trade report, Miscellaneous Subjects

(RC92-S-4). Each retail establishment was tabulated according to the physical location at which the business was

conducted. The count of establishments represents those

in business at any time during 1992. Appendix G provides

a comparison of the number of establishments active any

time during the year versus the number in business at the

end of the year.

When two activities or more were carried on at a single

location under a single ownership, all activities generally

were grouped together as a single establishment. The

entire establishment was classified on the basis of its

major activity and all data for it were included in that

classification. However, when distinct and separate economic activities (for which different industry classification

codes were appropriate) were conducted at a single

location under a single ownership, and when conditions

prescribed by the SIC manual for recognizing the existence

of more than one establishment were met, separate establishment reports for each of the different activities were

obtained in the census.

Leased departments are treated as separate establishments and are classified according to the kind of business

they conduct. For example, a leased department selling

shoes within a department store would be considered

a separate retail establishment under the ‘‘shoe store’’

classification.

Firms. A firm is a business organization or entity consisting

of one domestic establishment (location) or more under

common ownership or control. All establishments of subsidiary firms are included as part of the owning or controlling firm. For the economic census, the terms ‘‘firm’’ and

‘‘company’’ are synonymous.

Sales. Sales include merchandise sold for cash or credit at

retail and wholesale by establishments primarily engaged

in retail trade; amounts received from customers for

layaway purchases; receipts from rental or leasing of

vehicles, equipment, instruments, tools, etc.; receipts for

delivery, installation, maintenance, repair, alteration,

storage, and other services; the total value of service

contracts; and gasoline, liquor, tobacco, and other excise

taxes which are paid by the manufacturer or wholesaler

and passed on to the retailer.

Sales are net after deductions for refunds and allowances for merchandise returned by customers. Trade-in

allowances are not deducted from total sales. Total sales

do not include carrying or other credit charges; sales (or

other) taxes collected from customers and forwarded to

taxing authorities; commissions from vending machine

operators; sales and receipts of departments or concessions operated by other firms; commissions or receipts

from the sale of government lottery tickets; installment

payments from leasing of vehicles, equipment, instruments, tools, etc. marketed under capital, finance, or full

payout leases; and nonoperating income from such sources

as investments, rental or sale of real estate, etc.

Sales in this report do not include retail sales made by

manufacturers, wholesalers, service establishments, or

other businesses whose primary activity is other than retail

trade. They do include receipts other than from the sale of

merchandise at retail, e.g., service receipts, sales to industrial users, and sales to other retailers, by establishments

primarily engaged in retail trade.

Annual payroll. Payroll includes all forms of compensation such as salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses, vacation allowances, sick-leave pay, employee contributions to

qualified pension plans, and the value of payments in kind

(e.g., free meals and lodgings) paid during the year to all

2

Newly defined metropolitan areas (MA’s) were announced by the

Office of Management and Budget (OMB) effective June 30, 1993.

employees. Tips and gratuities received by employees

from patrons and reported to employers are included. For

corporations, payroll includes amounts paid to officers and

executives; for unincorporated businesses, it does not

include profit or other compensation of proprietors or

partners. 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 the Internal

Revenue Service (IRS) on form 941.

First-quarter payroll. This item consists of payroll, as

defined above, paid to persons employed at any time

during the quarter January to March 1992.

Paid employees for pay period including March 12.

Paid employees consist of the full- and part-time employees, including salaried officers and executives of corporations, who were on the payroll during the pay period

including March 12. Included are employees on paid sick

leave, paid holidays, and paid vacations; not included are

proprietors and partners of unincorporated businesses.

The definition of paid employees is the same as that used

on IRS form 941.

Auxiliary establishments. Each company included in this

census was asked to identify and separately report auxiliary locations whose primary functions were to manage,

administer, service, or support the activities of the other

establishments of the company. Data presented in this

report do not include auxiliary establishments. Data for

auxiliaries are presented in a subsequent report issued as

part of the 1992 Enterprise Statistics reports.

KIND-OF-BUSINESS CLASSIFICATIONS

Retail trade, SIC major groups 52 through 59 in the SIC

manual, includes establishments primarily engaged in selling merchandise for personal or household consumption

and rendering services incidental to the sale of the goods.

Exceptions to this general rule are lumber yards; paint,

glass, and wallpaper stores; typewriter stores; stationery

stores; and gasoline service stations, which sell to both the

general public for personal and household consumption

and to businesses. These types of stores are included in

retail trade even if a higher proportion of their sales is

made to other than individuals for personal or household

consumption. However, such establishments that sell their

products only to institutional or industrial users and to other

wholesalers and establishments that sell similar merchandise for use exclusively by business establishments are

classified in wholesale trade.

Other important characteristics of retail trade establishments are that they are usually places of business; they

are engaged in activities to attract the general public to

buy; they buy or receive as well as sell merchandise; they

may process their products, although processing is incidental or subordinate to selling; and they are considered

as retail in the trade. Not all of these characteristics need

be present and some are modified by trade practice.

The retail trade industries were covered in the 1992

Economic and Agriculture Census. However, retail establishments of the following types were excluded from census coverage:

1. Federal, State, and local government agencies that

sold merchandise, other than liquor stores operated by

State and local governments

2. Officers’ clubs and officers’ open messes (classified

based on primary activity with a T/O code of 90); and

public school lunch programs except those which

operated on a fee or contract basis (classified based

on primary activity with a T/O code of 55)

The following types of retail establishments were covered in the census:

1. Appliance stores owned by public utilities if the establishments were primarily engaged in selling appliances

to customers

2. Liquor stores operated by State and local governments

Establishments covered by the census were assigned

kind-of-business classifications according to the industry

classifications defined in the 1987 SIC manual. When a

more detailed classification than defined in the SIC manual

was needed, additional kinds of business were identified

within a SIC industry.

In general, retail establishments were classified according to the principal lines of commodities sold (groceries,

hardware, etc.), or the usual trade designation (drug store,

cigar store, etc.).

Kind-of-business classifications are not interchangeable

with commodity classifications; most businesses sell several kinds of commodities. The kind-of-business code

generally reflects either the individual commodity or the

commodity group which is the primary source of the

establishment’s business. Thus, the classification of establishments by kind of business generally does not make it

possible to determine either the number of establishments

handling a particular commodity or the sales of that

commodity. For example, the food stores classification

excludes stores selling food if the sale of food is not the

primary source of receipts; moreover, even though stores

are classified as food stores, some of their receipts may be

derived from the sale of nonfood products. (Information on

the extent to which various broad groups of commodities

or merchandise lines are sold by different kinds of business is available in the 1992 Census of Retail Trade report,

Merchandise Line Sales, RC92-S-3.)

Building Materials and Garden Supplies Stores

(SIC Major Group 52)

This major group includes retail establishments primarily

engaged in selling lumber and other building materials;

paint, glass, and wallpaper; hardware; nursery stock; lawn

RETAIL TRADE—GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES APPENDIX A A–3
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 4 SESS: 43 OUTPUT: Thu Sep 22 15:39:30 1994 /pssw01/disk2/economic/rc92a/0/14apdxa

and garden supplies; and manufactured (mobile) homes. It

includes lumber and other building materials dealers and

paint, glass, and wallpaper stores selling to the general

public, even if sales to contractors account for a larger

proportion of total sales; these establishments are known

as retail in the trade. Establishments primarily selling these

products but not selling to the general public are classified

in wholesale trade.

Lumber and other building materials dealers

(SIC 521). Establishments primarily engaged in selling

lumber, or lumber and a general line of building materials,

to the general public. While these establishments may also

sell to contractors, they are known as retail in the trade,

even if sales to contractors account for a higher proportion

of the sales. The lumber they sell may include rough and

dressed lumber, flooring, molding, doors, sashes, frames,

and other millwork. The building materials may include

roofing, siding, shingles, wallboard, paint, brick, tile, cement,

sand, gravel, and other building materials and supplies. For

lumber yards, at least 32 percent of sales must be from the

sale of lumber and millwork. Hardware is often an important line of retail lumber and building materials dealers.

Also included in this group are home centers. These are

retail establishments that sell both lumber and building

materials and hardware. Additionally, they must sell at

least 5 of the following merchandise lines: housewares,

tools (power and/or hand), floor coverings, electrical supplies, kitchen cabinets, plumbing and bath supplies, lawn

and garden products, paints and/or sundries, windows

and/or doors, roofing, wallcoverings, ceiling products and

materials, lawn and garden supplies, and appliances.

Establishments not selling to the general public or known

in the trade as wholesale are classified in SIC 503.

Paint, glass, and wallpaper stores (SIC 523). Establishments primarily engaged in selling paint, glass, and wallpaper, or any combination of these lines, to the general

public. While these establishments may also sell to contractors, they are known as retail in the trade, even if sales

to contractors account for a higher proportion of the sales.

Establishments which do not sell to the general public are

classified in wholesale trade.

Hardware stores (SIC 525). Establishments primarily

engaged in selling a number of basic hardware lines, such

as tools, builders’ hardware, locks and other security

hardware, paint and glass, housewares, household appliances, cutlery, and building materials, no one of which

accounts for 50 percent or more of the sales of the

establishments.

Retail nurseries, lawn and garden supply stores

(SIC 526). Establishments primarily engaged in selling

trees, shrubs, other plants, seeds, bulbs, mulches, soil

conditioners, fertilizers, pesticides, garden tools, and other

garden supplies to the general public. These establishments primarily sell products purchased from others, but

may sell some plants which they grow themselves. Establishments primarily engaged in growing trees, shrubs, other

plants, seeds, and bulbs are classified in SIC major group

01, and those growing Christmas trees are classified in SIC

major group 08.

Manufactured (mobile) home dealers (SIC 527). Establishments primarily engaged in the retail sale of new and

used mobile homes, parts and equipment. Establishments

primarily selling travel trailers and campers are classified in

SIC 5561 and those primarily selling utility trailers are

classified in SIC 5599.

General Merchandise Stores

(SIC Major Group 53)

This major group includes retail stores which sell a

number of lines of merchandise, such as dry goods,

apparel and accessories, furniture and homefurnishings,

small wares, hardware, and food. The stores included in

this group are known as department stores, variety stores,

general merchandise stores, catalog showrooms, warehouse clubs, and general stores. Establishments primarily

engaged in selling used general merchandise are classified in SIC 593, and those selling general merchandise by

mail, vending machine, or direct selling are classified in SIC

596.

Department stores (SIC 531). Retail stores normally

having 50 employees or more, having sales of apparel and

soft goods combined amounting to 20 percent or more of

total sales, and selling each of the following groups of

merchandise:

1. Household linens, dry goods, furniture, homefurnishings, appliances, and radio and TV sets

2. A general line of apparel for the family

The employment and lines of merchandise sold in

leased departments are both taken into account when

classifying a department store.

To qualify as a department store, sales of each of the

lines listed above must be less than 80 percent of total

store sales. An establishment with total sales of $10 million

or more is classified as a department store even if sales of

one of the merchandise lines listed above exceed the

maximum percent of total sales, provided that the sales of

the other group is $1 million or more. Relatively few stores

are included in this classification as a result of this special

rule and most of those which are would otherwise have

been classified in the apparel group (SIC major group 56).

Due to the relatively high level of leased department

activity in department stores, department store sales have

been separately presented for the following classifications:

Department stores (including leased depts.)

Department stores (excluding leased depts.)

For States and for areas with 10,000 retail establishments or more, the following subcategories of department

stores also are presented:

Conventional department stores (SIC 531 pt.). Establishments which satisfy the criteria of a department store

(see above) and:

1. Usually provide check-out service and customer assistance (sales persons) within each department

2. May have a catalog order service

3. Are not affiliated with a company which operates

similar establishments on a national basis

These stores often sell:

1. Soft goods and hard goods which are primarily nationally advertised brands

2. Appliances which are serviced by another company

3. Limited lines of merchandise through seasonal or

special catalogs

Discount or mass merchandising department stores

(SIC 531 pt.). Establishments which satisfy the criteria of a

department store (see above) and usually:

1. Convey the image of a high-volume, fast turnover

outlet selling a variety of merchandise for less than

conventional prices

2. Provide centralized check-out service

3. Sell merchandise through self-service with minimal

customer assistance provided in any department

4. Do not have a catalog order service

These stores often sell:

1. Soft goods which are usually their own corporate

brands or are unbranded

2. Hard goods which are primarily nationally advertised

brands

3. Appliances which are serviced by another company

National chain department stores (SIC 531 pt.). Establishments which satisfy the criteria of a department store

(see above) and:

1. Usually provide check-out service and customer assistance (sales persons) within each department

2. Usually have a catalog order service

3. Are affiliated with a company which operates similar

establishments on a national basis

These stores often sell:

1. Soft goods and hard goods which are their own

corporate brands or are unbranded

2. Appliances which are serviced by their own company

Variety stores (SIC 533). Establishments primarily engaged

in the retail sale of a variety of merchandise in the low and

popular price ranges. Sales usually are made on a cashand-carry basis, with the open selling method of display

and customer selection of merchandise. These stores

generally do not carry a complete line of merchandise, are

not departmentalized, do not carry their own charge service, and do not deliver merchandise.

Miscellaneous general merchandise stores (SIC 539).

Establishments primarily engaged in the retail sale of a

general line of apparel, dry goods, hardware, housewares

or homefurnishings, groceries, and other lines in limited

amounts. Stores selling commodities covered in the definition for department stores but normally having less than

50 employees, and stores usually known as country or

general stores are included here. Also included are most

catalog showrooms. Establishments primarily engaged in

the retail sales of merchandise by catalog, mail, or television order are classified in SIC 5961.

Warehouse clubs (SIC 539 pt.). Establishments primarily

engaged in the retail sale of general lines of merchandise

such as groceries; automotive tires, batteries, parts, and

accessories; audio and video equipment; household appliances; office equipment and supplies; apparel; and books

through warehouse-based operations. These establishments are sometimes known as membership warehouse

clubs.

Catalog showrooms (SIC 539 pt.). Establishments primarily engaged in the retail sale of general lines of merchandise such as homefurnishings, housewares, jewelry, radios,

televisions, stereo equipment, and sporting goods. Inventory is stored at the location but not usually on display.

Customers order using a catalog and wait while the
