Market snapshot
These figures describe Timber & Logging Operations (7.3.6), the segment that Timber Rights & Land Companies sits within — not Timber Rights & Land Companies on its own.
Logging (NAICS 113310) is covered by the USDA census rather than the Economic Census (establishments reported but not receipts), so the segment is not separately sized here; timberland is increasingly REIT/TIMO-owned.
