Methodology
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2019 and 2022, NAICS 518210 (Data processing, hosting, and related services)
Measure Data Processing and Hosting Sites, ranked highest first across all U.S. states
(52 ranked in total).
How the headline figure is computed The tenth-highest value minus the tenth-lowest, across all 52 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.
