Methodology
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2019 and 2022, NAICS 2371 (Utility system construction)
Measure Utility System Contractors, ranked highest first across all U.S. metros
(166 ranked in total).
How the headline figure is computed The tenth-highest value minus the tenth-lowest, across all 166 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.
