Cluster
Mapping Project
|
The Cluster Mapping Project assembles a detailed picture of the
location and performance of industries in the United States, with
a special focus on the linkages or externalities across industries
that give rise to clusters.
Data on the composition, by cluster, of state, regional, and
metropolitan economies in the U.S. has been collected and analyzed
for each year from 1998 through to the most recent government
releases. This unique body of information reveals the share
of industries serving a local market versus those competing with
other regions; clusters of industries with particular local
strength; and an area's performance in terms of employment, wages,
patenting, and new business formation.
The Cluster Mapping Project is a powerful tool for regional
economic development initiatives.

adaptations of the same cluster methodology:
