Methodology
Source:
U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2019 and 2022, NAICS 3344 (Semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturing)
Measure
Electronic Component Plants, ranked highest first across all U.S. metros
(36 ranked in total).
How the headline figure is computed
The tenth-highest value minus the tenth-lowest, across all 36 ranked units. The single extremes are deliberately not used.
Universe
Places below a 5,000-resident floor are excluded so a median computed on a handful of households cannot top the ranking.
Every figure on this page is computed directly from the dataset named above
by ALEX Intelligence. No figure on this page was written by hand or by a
language model. The query is stated so that anyone can re-run it and obtain
the same table.
