Jeff Cornwall:

American City Business Journals issued their report on entrepreneurial hot spots.

Their methodology is quite simple. “ACBJ used a four-category formula to rate local climates for small businesses, defined as companies with fewer than 100 employees. The categories were:

  • Number of small businesses per 100,000 residents
  • Change in the number of small businesses from 2000 to 2002 (the latest year for which official figures are available)
  • Change in private-sector employment from 2000 to 2002
  • Change in private-sector payrolls from 2000 to 2002″

You can link to a complete Excel file of the large markets, medium markets, and small markets.
