I would say though for Houston, most would be in one of these three locations, inside the loop, the galleria, or energy corridor.
Yeah, that's true. I looked up the F500 for Houston and most were pretty centered downtown it looked like with some far outside of course. But then outside of that, it was spread out. I'll put an image up soon.

Yeah, I'lll say besides the Energy Corridor ones and the one or so in a place like Westchase are the only ones that would be considered truly out of the city in another metro, the vast majority are in Downtown and Uptown/Galleria area essentially which would be city limits for any city not named San Fran or Boston.

This is for Fortune 1000 companies in the city limits of Houston. 13 of them are downtown with another one a little outside of it. Another 5 are in Uptown area which leaves 16 outside of those two areas...a few I'm missing. Trying to work on those
Since more than 90% of Davidson County is Nashville, its numbers are very skewed unlike Richmond which has very small city limits.
This would actually work in Nashville's favor for this type of discussion. Since Richmond's city limits are so small you really only get the poor and working class communities in these numbers. Take a look at stats for Henrico County, VA, Richmond's main county. Most of the money in our Metro is outside of the city limits. I believe that Henrico has pretty similar numbers to Nashville-Davidson. Also, Richmond's GDP per capita is not too different from Nashville, 58,639 to 54,605
It’s amazing how high Pittsburgh moves up these lists when you compare city proper, as opposed to MSA. Pittsburgh really suffers from its isolation. Its MSA is over inflated by the inclusion of five rural counties, and contains no second city of note.
Los Angeles is by far is definitely a weird one. I work for a Fortune 500 company out here but besides the obvious (Disney & Mattel) it's big with manufacturing and utilities HQ like Reliance & A-Mark Metals.
It's not like many of Atlanta's famous Fortune 500 companies weren't homegrown. Delta, Home Depot, Coca Cola, Southern Company, among others were all started and grew up in the Atlanta area.
Actually, Delta was started in Macon, GA. As far as Coke, its origins trace back to Columbus, GA.
(yes, I know it's a technicality as they're both in GA, but they're also not the "Atlanta area")

True but as long as both have been headquartered in Atlanta, they definitely qualify as homegrown companies.
