Industry structure space

Explore detailed industries using Census concentration and scale measures. Similarity links describe measured characteristics, not ownership connections or legal market boundaries.

Named coordinatesSnapshot axes use the national 2022 universe; movement and network change use fixed strict-match rows.
Descriptive connectionsMutual fingerprint links do not establish substitution, ownership, causation, liability, or a legal market.

Census fingerprint field

Reveal mutual structure neighborhoods

Keep the named percentile axes, then retain a line only when two plotted industries rank one another among their three nearest complete-reference fingerprints.

Coordinate contract

Axes rank each named measure independently across the national six-digit universe. No latent or composite position is calculated.

Network contract

The graph retains reciprocal top-three links among rows with every selected lens measure and both plotted axes published. Emphasized lines are the selected industry's exact mutual graph neighbors.

Interpretation boundary

A network line is retained only when two plotted industries rank one another among their three nearest complete-reference Census fingerprints under the selected named lens. The line is descriptive: it does not establish product substitutability, competition, common ownership, causation, or a legally defined antitrust market.
