Methodology

Source:: U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2022, NAICS 541714 (Research and development in biotechnology (except nanobiotechnology))
Measure: Biotechnology R&D Labs, ranked highest first across all U.S. states (51 ranked in total).
How the headline figure is computed: The top three units' combined count divided by the combined count of all 51 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.
Vintage: 2022
