I just cannot think of the right word here, which is making me feel extremely dense! It refers to the information presented in a table of companies providing formal care. The context is this:
Para ello partiendo del número de empresas creadas por tamaño de la empresa (véase tabla 1), se ha multiplicado el número de empresas creadas por el número medio de trabajadores por cada uno de los tramos.
This is a section of the table:
2003 2004-03 2005-04
n n % n
TOTAL 8,532 611 7.16 -1,071
SIN ASALARIADOS 1.395 49 3,51 -93
DE 1 A 2 ASAL. 1.532 92 6,01 -375
DE 3 A 5 ASAL. 1.357 63 4,64 -350
DE 6 A 9 ASAL. 1.179 189 16,03 -314

It seems to me that this table is breaking down companies by category. Perhaps someone else will have a brilliant idea, but that's what occurs to me from this fragment.
Note from asker:
| Yes, category was another of my possibilities, as was band. I'm having one of those days when nothing sounds right! |

Although the meaning is evident from the context, I have never read or heard the term "tramo" used in this sense. Usually "tramo" means "stretch", i.e. a segment of a long, thin object, like a stretch of road, rail line, pipeline, esophagus, artery, nostril, etc. From which country is the original text?
