A Note about NAICS codes

From Wikipedia: "The North American Industry Classification System or NAICS (pronounced "nakes") is used by business and government to classify business establishments according to type of economic activity (process of production) in Canada, Mexico and the United States."

NAICS is hierarchical, with each top-level category (45, for example) housing numerous sub-categories, up to 6-digits. The API returns all categories matching and under the code provided. For example, if you pass 451 (Sporting Goods, Hobby, Book, and Music Stores) to the API, it will return everything under that category, including:

  • 45111 (Sporting Goods Stores)
  • 45112 (Hobby, Toy, and Game Stores)
  • 45113 (Sewing, Needlework, and Piece Goods Stores)
  • 45114 (Musical Instrument and Supplies Stores)

The City of Portland uses 5-digit classification. The following top-level categories are listed below. You can view the full classification hierarchy here.
