Each year, Advocacy’s Office of Economic Research compiles the latest small business economic activity data for major metropolitan areas in the U.S. The metropolitan area profiles are part of Advocacy’s state profile series, which provides user-friendly snapshots of national, state, and local small business statistics.
These profiles use the latest government data to answer the questions:
- How many small businesses are in each metro area?
- What are the metro area trends for small businesses and self-employed individuals?
- What are the demographic shares of business owners in a particular metro area?
- What are the small business lending trends for each metropolitan area?
