Methodology
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2022, NAICS 336411 (Aircraft manufacturing)
Measure Aircraft Plants, ranked highest first across all U.S. states
(32 ranked in total).
How the headline figure is computed The top three units' combined count divided by the combined count of all 32 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.
