While this distribution of business R&D intensity among the states closely resembles that of total business R&D expenditures (shown in the map below from previous SSTI analysis), there are some noticeable differences. As measured by intensity rather than raw business R&D spending in 2019, New York and Texas had relatively much lower levels of business R&D activity. Idaho, Indiana, and several other central states had relatively higher levels of business R&D intensity than R&D spending in 2019.
