Methodology
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2022, NAICS 5417 (Scientific research and development services)
Measure R&D Services Establishments, ranked highest first across all U.S. states

How the headline figure is computed The top three units' combined count divided by the combined count of all 54 ranked units.
Universe Places below a 5,000-resident floor are excluded so a median computed on a handful of households cannot top the ranking.
