33 FIGURE 4-2: FIVE CATEGORIES OF AIRPORT LOCATION FOR COMPETITION STUDIES AIRPORT LOCATION/COMPETITION CATEGORY, BY STATE The national aggregate data presented in Figure 4-2 is examined on a state-by-state basis in Table 4-1. This uses the same five categories, plus a sixth category -- no airports within 100 miles of the Census tract -- that was excluded from Figure 4-2 for graphic simplicity, as it includes less than one-half of one percent of continental US residents.
