Really cool to see some high ranking names on this list that you wouldn’t expect.
Seeing Florida solidly at #1 was a bit shocking as I would have guessed California with how much you hear about The Silicon Valley.
Also what’s going on in Michigan?
Is this just people filing for an LLC or what?
The plot could use a caption or at least a legend identifying what is being plotted. This data is interesting, but its presentation here falls short of beautiful.
By entrepreneurial, do they mean guy selling ribs out of a portable smoker in a parking lot? We definitely have that in Detroit.
Amongst the many, MANY amazing things California exports, companies and jobs is probably one of them.
Absolutely no idea, from reading this, how the index works–but intuitively it feels somewhat incorrect that Massachusetts is in the bottom 15 states. Massachusetts has Harvard and MIT and the city of Boston, which is arguably the biggest biotech hub for the US and is probably the biggest spot for startups outside silicon valley. It might just be that fewer people start other kinds of businesses there, but because the metric is so opaque, and because it doesn’t align with other sorts of expectations, I’d argue that it’s not a particularly useful index. I bet you’d get quite different results with a different weighting of the inputs, and so the result seems extremely subjective, depending on your priorities.
58% of the population in Miami is foreign born, higher than anywhere else in the country. Immigrants on average are more likely to start their own businesses than native born Americans.

It’s no coincidence that [Florida also has the highest proportion of gig workers](https://millennialmoney.com/gig-economy-statistics/) in the United States.
