ACS Data Users Group

Does anyone know where/how I can pull stats for minority-owned businesses? I found this excerpt below from the U.S. Census, but cannot find the data:

The U.S. Census Bureau today released new estimates on the characteristics of employer businesses. According to the 2022 Annual Business Survey (ABS), which covers reference year 2021, there were approximately 5.9 million employer firms in total, of which, 1.2 million (21%) were minority-owned, 304,823 (5.2%) were veteran-owned, and around 1.3 million (22%) were owned by women.

Thanks,

Robin

Dear Robin,

Your are welcome !

The ABS has 3 geographies, All US, States, and metropolitan statistical areas.

Best,

Dave

Thanks! Yes, I noticed it does not have county level, but that's ok for what I need it for.
