Methodology

Source:: U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2019 and 2022, NAICS 3345 (Navigational, measuring, electromedical, and control instruments manufacturing)
Measure: Precision Instrument Plants, ranked highest first across all U.S. metros (57 ranked in total).
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
