Data · AI Answer Competition Index
Where AI Answers Have the Most Names to Choose From: The AI Answer Competition Index
Each county gets a 0 to 100 score for how many established businesses, those with five or more employees, compete in the eleven categories where people ask an assistant to recommend someone, compared with every U.S. county of 20,000 or more residents. It counts businesses, not AI mentions, and it is built only from public Census data.

Index: a 0 to 100 score. 75% is the average, across eleven recommendation categories, of each county's percentile for established locations (5+ employees) per resident; 15% is the percentile of the share of locations with 20+ employees; 10% is the percentile of the number of places with 2,500+ residents. Percentiles compare each county with all U.S. counties of 20,000+ residents. Connecticut uses its historic counties and 2021 business data because the Census Bureau's newer files use planning regions. Source: U.S. Census Bureau County Business Patterns.
