Business of the Metros

Every metro page credits its public companies; this hub is the whole board at once. The world's listed companies, plus the big unicorns and private giants, credited back to the metros they run from, with tabs for the private markets, the S&P 500, markets, currencies and crossovers into everything else this site tracks.

The same board, per person

Market cap divided by population: how much listed value each place carries per head.

How this is measured
A total mostly ranks countries by how many people they contain; dividing by population asks a different question with a different answer. Places under a million people or with fewer than 10 tracked companies are left out: without that floor the board opens with Bermuda and the Cayman Islands, which are where companies are registered rather than where anything is run.

Population is the World Bank's latest year (SP.POP.TOTL), except Taiwan, which the World Bank does not report and which uses UN World Population Prospects estimates through 2023 instead. Every country page names its own source.

Where these numbers come from

Company values are the weekly snapshot (2026-10-31) of this site's market-cap dataset: every listed company from companiesmarketcap.com, the CB Insights unicorn list and the largest private companies, each hand-assigned to the metro it is run from - the same dataset behind the Top Companies block on every metro page (metro pages refresh on their own weekly cycle, so the two stamps can differ by a few days). The tabs add Wikipedia's maintained S&P 500 list, index and commodity levels, and daily exchange rates; each states its own source and as-of date. Values in this corner of the site are description, not investment advice.
