The 2019 Fortune 500 (and 1000) came out a week or two ago. Here is a look at MSAs, cities, and states which have the most of them. Please note that I did this by MSA and didn't put SF and San Jose together since they are separate MSAs. However, for example in the MSA ranking it would rank 2nd with 38 total if they were put together.
