I thought it would be good to share the latest annual ranking from Inc. These are the metro areas containing the most high-growth companies across a multitude of sectors appearing on the Inc. 500. The DC area made a particularly strong showing relative to its metro area population:

DC has been booming through the recession with all the government money. Nice to see Atlanta doing so well and outperforming some of its more celebrated peer cities.
