    READ ALONGSIDE THE INDEX
    This market sits in the top 27% on the IEPA composite but the bottom 49% on productive capability. The wider system is converting more than the productive base alone would predict, which puts the question on how durable that is. Both figures rank the same 115 markets that carry each measure.
