Methodology
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2019 and 2022, NAICS 5417 (Scientific research and development services)
Measure R&D Services Establishments, 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.
