Abstract
This study grew out of the Amazon announcement in 2017 that it would create a second headquarters with most of the competing cities being in the East-Midwest section of the United States. The city of Cincinnati threw in its hat as did another 237 cities. Cincinnati was eventually eliminated in part because 'it was not technical' enough according to Amazon. Amazon narrowed down the 238 'contestants' to 20. Part of the author's research has been on the technical community within the Cincinnati area and the Amazon new headquarters search got one wondering 'just how does Cincinnati compare to other cities'? This study looks at cities within 1000km radius of Cincinnati plus the other US members of the Amazon20. This report looks at only those IT organizations that were found on Meetup.com and covered a total of 68 cities mostly in the Midwest and Eastern US.
