Industry cluster analysis
How to interpret cluster data results
The graph’s four quadrants tell a different story for each cluster.
Contains clusters that are more
concentrated in the region but
are declining (negative growth).
These clusters typically fall
into the lower quadrant as
job losses cause a decline
in concentration.
Mature
Top left
(strong but
declining)
Transforming
Contains clusters that are
under-represented in the
region (low concentration)
and are also losing jobs.
Clusters in this region may
indicate a gap in the workforce
pipeline if local industries anticipate
a future need. In general, clusters in this
quadrant show a lack of
competitiveness.
Bottom left
(weak and
declining)
Contains clusters that are more
concentrated in the region and are
growing. These clusters are
strengths that help a community
stand out from the competition.
Small, high-growth clusters
Top right
can be expected to become
more dominant over time.
(strong and
Stars
advancing)
Emerging
Contains clusters that are
under-represented in the
Bottom right
region
but are growing, often
(weak but
quickly. If growth trends
advancing)
continue, these clusters will
eventually move into the top right
quadrant. Clusters in this quadrant
are considered emerging strengths
for the region.

Industry cluster analysis
Bubble chart interpretation
Mature Industries
Star Industries
Only one industry cluster in the Green Hills Region is
in the Maturing stage: Agribusiness, Food Processing
and Technology Manufacturing. This industry cluster
is fairly concentrated (LQ = 10.9), but its growth is
trending downward. It is worth noting, however, that
the Green Hills Region may find it worthwhile to invest
in efforts to shore up the concentration of this
industry.
Star industry clusters are highly concentrated,
exporting and still experiencing growth in the region.
The most highly concentrated of the Star industry
clusters in the Green Hills Region is Transportation
Equipment Manufacturing. Its location quotient is 2.77,
indicating that the cluster is nearly 3 times more
concentrated in the region compared to the U.S. This
cluster is followed by Mining that has fairly high LQ of
1.7 as well.
Transforming Industries
Transforming clusters capture the mix of industries
that are experiencing relative decline and limited
export capability. In the Green Hills Region these are
Forest & Wood Products, Biomedical/Biotechnical
(Life Science), Transportation & Logistics,
Chemicals/Chemical-based Products, Advanced
Materials, Printing & Publishing, Defense & Security,
Electric Equipment, Appliance & Component
Manufacturing, and Apparel & Textiles. Any amount of
growth in these industries would require relatively
large investments.
Emerging Industries
Industry clusters that may be poised for future growth
are classified as “Emerging.” There are eight Emerging
clusters in the Green Hills Region: Manufacturing
Supercluster, Energy (Fossil & Renewable); Arts,
Entertainment, Recreational & Visitor Industries; Glass
& Ceramics, Business & Financial Services, Education
& Knowledge Creation, Information Technology &
Telecommunications, Fabricated Metal Product
Manufacturing.
