A metro area shows a ranking once it has at least 2 tracked pharmacy chains and 10 tracked stores. Relative to Ohio compares a chain's share of the metro area's spend with its share in Ohio as a whole. It ranks the 7 biggest chains in Ohio and the chains that lead a metro area by spend, wherever a chain has at least 5% of the metro area's spend and 3 stores there. Metro areas are the Census Bureau's metropolitan statistical areas; the rest of Ohio is light gray. A metro area crossing the state line counts only its stores in Ohio. Colors match the store map; other tracked chains are gray.
