It would be interesting to see a list from 10, 20, 30 and 40 ago to see how it has changed. I think Pittsburgh and Cleveland were high on the list, and maybe other St Louis, but now Minneapolis is high in the midwest. Likewise for the Southern cities ascendence, although I suspect Dallas may have been fairly high back then. I actually don't think DC was very high up until about 20 years ago when some of the defense companies merged and started relocating or establishing DC as the HQ, but maybe I am wrong here. I wonder how big Detroit was in HQs, of course it had the Big 3 autos and Kmart was a separate company, but I am not sure what other HQs except for a bank if they were counted then. And San Jose came out of nowhere due to the tech boom...I am 99.9% confident NYC and Chicago have always been #1 and #2 since at least 1950 and don't think LA ever made to the #3 even as it passed Chicago metro in population. Did LA ever make it to the top 5?
