This isnt a commonly cited statistic, but its a strong indicator of an areas small-business vitality. Think of it as a variant of population density only instead of a ratio of
people per square mile, its small businesses per 100,000 residents. Portland, Maine, historically leads this category, and its on top again this year. Miami is the only other
place above 3,000 small businesses per 100,000. McAllen-Edinburg, Texas, is last.
