Methodology

Source:: U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2022, NAICS 1151 (Support activities for crop production)
Measure: Crop Production Support Operations, ranked highest first across all U.S. metros (336 ranked in total).
How the headline figure is computed: The top three units' combined count divided by the combined count of all 336 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
