Art Related Businesses
What does this measure?
This indicator counts the number of for-profit and not-for-profit arts-related businesses and employees in Orange County registered with Dun and Bradstreet. Because not all businesses register, the reporting entity - Americans for the Arts - believes nonprofit arts organizations and individual artists are under-reported; the estimate therefore should be considered conservative.

Overall, the number of arts-related businesses grew by 190% between 2011 and 2017. The number of workers in those businesses, however, only grew by 8%.
