2021 Small Business Profiles For
Congressional Districts
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 shows the impact of small businesses in 436 congressional districts. Readers can find the congressional district’s total number of small employers and their industry breakout. Additionally, the profiles show the number of workers employed by small
businesses and a map showing the share and distribution of self-employed workers across the district.
The profiles, based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, cover the 436 congressional districts in the 50 states and District of Columbia. Advocacy uses 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.
