Comparable here

National six-digit rows sharing the employer-firm universe and revenue-based concentration basis; signed changes require an identical code, level, sector, and label in both Census tables.

Still requires judgment

A relative rank is a screening signal. Product and geographic market definition, competitive effects, entry, and legal conclusions require separate evidence.

Selection console

Choose two to four detailed industries

Every rank and percentile uses the same 899 six-digit NAICS rows, so hierarchy level stays fixed across the comparison.

A nearby Census fingerprint means the rows occupy similar national percentile positions on the selected published measures. It does not imply product substitutability, a competitive relationship, common ownership, or a legally defined antitrust market.

Five-year deltas are published only for rows whose NAICS code and industry label are identical in the 2017 and 2022 Census tables. This strict match is a conservative screening rule, not an official NAICS concordance or evidence of causation. Revenue changes are nominal and are not adjusted for inflation.

Cross-grain research context

Move between industry, sector, and market evidence without mixing them

Keep the selected six-digit cohort fixed while inspecting broad-sector flows or exact curated market bridges. Every layer retains its own universe, vintage, and permitted use.

The context matrix keeps three different evidence grains separate: six-digit Economic Census industry screens, broad-sector Business Dynamics Statistics, and curated product-and-geography market profiles. Sector rates are contextual, market links require an exact declared NAICS crosswalk, and no value is averaged into a score or treated as causal, legally equivalent, or directly comparable across layers.

NAICS industries are national statistical screening categories, not legally defined antitrust markets. Cross-sector comparisons describe relative Census position; they do not establish product substitutability, geographic scope, market power, or liability.
