sic_naics

SIC-to-NAICS concordance, enriched with the NAICS 2022 hierarchy. One row per (sic_code, naics_code) pair — the mapping is many-to-many, so one SIC code often maps to several NAICS codes. Built from the Census Bureau 2017–2022 NAICS to 1987 SIC concordance; covers ~1,005 of the ~1,300 4-digit SIC codes. Used to attach NAICS industry context to SEC filers that report a SIC code.
