What you get for each county
- The businesses it is short on, and the ones it already has plenty of, by count.
- What one-person shops in the county actually take in, from Census sales data.
- Startup costs and survival rates for the matching business, from the Groundwork Startup Industry Database.
- A map from the country to the county, and a data file you can download.
How it is made
Every number is a published Census figure. We compare each county with the 60 counties nearest it in population and income, show small counts as ranges and never as zero, and check headline counts against local listings. See something we missed? Every county page has a correction form.
