Owners of nonemployer businesses - firms with no paid employees, such as sole proprietors, gig workers, and independent
Owners of nonemployer businesses - firms with no paid employees, such as sole proprietors, gig workers, and independent contractors - in Georgia and each of its 159 counties, by whether the owner was born in the United States and whether the owner is a U.S. citizen, from the U.S. Census Bureau's Nonemployer Statistics by Demographics (NES-D), reference years 2022-2023. Each row carries the number of owners the Census can identify, which excludes C-corporation owners ('total reporting'), the U.S.-born / not-U.S.-born split, the citizen / not-a-citizen split, and the published shares not U.S.-born (the headline metric) and not citizens. State rows are also broken out by 18 two-digit NAICS industry sectors; county rows cover all sectors combined.
Filterable categorical columns (comma-separated values union; multiple columns AND together):
- sector — one of: all, naics_11, naics_21, naics_22, naics_23, naics_31_33, naics_42, naics_44_45, naics_48_49, naics_51, naics_52, naics_53, naics_54, naics_56, naics_61, naics_62, naics_71, naics_72, naics_81
