The Office of Advocacy is pleased to continue its Small Business Profiles for the Congressional Districts series. The congressional district profiles are part of Advocacy’s state profile series, which provides user-friendly snapshots of national, state, and congressional district small business statistics.
Each profile focuses on the impact of small businesses in 436 congressional districts. Within, readers can find the congressional district’s total number of small employers and their industry breakout, plus the number of workers employed and payroll expended by small businesses. Additionally, the profiles provide a map showing the total number and distribution of self-employed workers across the district.
The profiles cover the 436 congressional districts in the 50 states and District of Columbia, and they are based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The profiles use the latest small business economic data available at the congressional district level from government sources. However, the data were collected before the COVID-19 pandemic. District lines are based on the 116th Congress. Notes on the data and methodology used are available here.
