It’s also true that those 487 counties generate almost two-thirds of the nation’s economic activity.

LOL at people who think this is true because they look no further than where corporate HQ are located. I work for a large conglomerate. The (very small) HQ office of its parent holding company is in an extremely elite community in Connecticut. According to this type of analysis, all of the portfolio companys' economic activity is coming from Connecticut, when actually, 99% of the employees live in other places and 97% of the money we make for the company comes from other places. Yet on paper it looks like that's money being generated by Connecticut.
