Two weeks ago, in this space we analyzed the top states by number of Inc. 5000 companies, both cumulatively (where California is No. 1) and per capita (led by Virginia). This week we examine the top metro regions and top cities.

The Big Apple has 20 fewer Inc. 5000 companies this year than last year but remains the No. 1 metro by number of Inc. 5000 firms even as numbers surge in the nation’s capital and two Texas metros. The multi-state D.C. metro area saw its number rise by 15 firms over its 2024 total of 287. The Dallas-Ft. Worth tally grew by 18 firms.
