Census County Business Patterns

com.olyport/census-cbp

Connects Claude to Census County Business Patterns data through streamable HTTP. You get establishment counts, employee numbers, and annual payroll broken down by NAICS industry codes and geography (county, metro, state). Useful when you need to understand local business composition, compare employment across regions, or analyze industry concentration. Part of OlyPort's federal data suite with a free tier of 100 calls per day. Reach for this when demographic data isn't enough and you need the actual business and employment structure of a place, like sizing a market by number of establishments or tracking payroll trends in specific sectors.
