What the number means

Wyoming had 90 fitness and recreational sports centers in 2023, ranking number 51 among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Together they employed 964 people and paid $14 million in annual payroll, an average of 10.7 employees per site.

These businesses make up 0.38% of every employer establishment in Wyoming, below the 0.50% national share. A site count is not the same as the number of companies: a chain with 40 locations counts 40 times.

53% of fitness and recreational sports centers in Wyoming have fewer than 5 employees, against 41% across the U.S.

Wyoming holds 0.2% of the nation's fitness and recreational sports centers and 0.3% of all U.S. employer establishments, so, measured against the state's overall size, the trade is under-represented. The most common size class is under 5 employees (48 sites). Average payroll per employee is $14,972, against $19,070 for the U.S. trade.

Questions

How many fitness and recreational sports centers are in Wyoming?

The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 90 fitness and recreational sports centers with paid employees in Wyoming in 2023. That ranks Wyoming number 51 among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Is the number of fitness and recreational sports centers in Wyoming growing?

Between 2017 and 2023 the count grew (8.4%), from 83 to 90. Across the United States the count changed by +13.8% over the same period. These years include the 2020 pandemic.

Does this count include self-employed owners with no staff?

No. County Business Patterns covers establishments with at least one paid employee. A sole proprietor with no employees is counted in a separate Census series called Nonemployer Statistics, which this site does not use yet, so the real number of people working in this trade is higher than the figure shown.
