The Moody's analysis captures three dimensions of economic diversity: industry mix, CMA-level (Census Metropolitan Area) diversity and geographic dispersion. The three elements were compiled into a composite score. The analysis focuses on the combination of industries in a local economy compared to the combination of industries in the national economy. In examining the concentration of industries, Moody's looked at the share of local employment in a particular sector in a city and compared that to the share of employment in that sector in the national economy.
