ing, and the present rate structure in the city-owned facilities tends to invite usurpation of needed short-term parking spaces by all-day parkers, taking advantage of the "bargain" rates. [From the U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C., August 11, 1966] CENSUS SHOWS PARKING FIRMS WITH PAYROLL AVERAGED $270 PER PARKING SPACE IN 1963 A total of 8,140 of the Nation's parking establishments with payroll reported income for 1963 totaling $358 million from 1.3 million parking spaces—an average of over $270 per space-according to detailed statistics reported in the 1963 Census of Business and issued today by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of the Census. The totals are for establishments with one or more paid employees that reported data on both income and number of parking spaces. The 1963 Census of Business showed also the total of parking establishments (9,574) with payroll for which no parking space data is available. Receipts from these 9,574 establishments amounted to $404 million in 1963. The detailed information on income and parking spaces of the parking firms appears in a table that is reproduced on the back of this release and will be included in a volume to be issued late this year. The table presents figures for the United States as a whole, for the Nation's two Standard Consolidated Areas (New York and Chicago), and for the 50 largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA's). The table shows the New York SMSA first among the Nation's metropolitan areas in both number of parking spaces-166,646—and income from parking$68.5 million-for an average income of $410 per space for the establishments reporting parking space information. In number of spaces the Los Angeles and Detroit SMSA's were in second and third places, respectively. In fourth place was the Washington, D.C., SMSA with 53,550 parking spaces as against the Chicago SMSA's 53,437 spaces. These figures, however, do not include parking areas owned and operated by municipalities. In income, however, the Chicago SMSA's parking establishments had almost double the $13.6 million collected by the Washington establishments.
