Interesting. I'm a bit surprised there isn't more big pharma represented. Unless I missed one, I only see J&J, Merck and Pfizer. Although I guess a lot of the big guys are now based ex-U.S. Tax inversion was a pretty popular trend for a couple years there...
the combined BMS/Celgene may come close in the future
Other brands like Novartis, Roche (Gene), GSK, AZ are foreign owned
the industry is still fragmented relative to others
Where the founder lives, where start-up capital lives, where symbiotic entities exist (materials, collaborating companies, universities)....but eventually HQ locations seems to center on access to the best and most available talent.
Or from another perspective, companies that get huge usually had a location advantage...they wouldn't have grown to 10,000 or 50,000 HQ employees, or cross-germinated with collaborators as successfully, if they weren't in the right city.

Lilly and AbbVie are to small still for the list
Abbvie is very sizable—it’s #42 on the list.
