A county is classified as dependent on an industry (in the 2025 edition of the USDA, Economic Research Service County Typology Codes) if the county's share of economic activity (measured using a weighted index of an industry's share of earnings and jobs in a county and recreational housing for recreation-dependent counties) in that industry is at or above a common threshold and that industry's level of economic activity in the county is higher than any of the other industries examined. Industry dependence of metropolitan counties is not shown.
