Advances in medical research and technology are catching up to the increasing demand for precision medicine and a patient-centric supply chain. Likewise, the growing potential for pathogens to spread calls for therapy and immunization discovery to work at an unprecedented pace. So, as life sciences industries are experiencing demand like never before, they also fuel the necessity for well-educated R&D talent, world-class facilities and a supportive economy. With this in mind, we set out to identify where in the U.S. these industry needs were best being met.
Using CommercialEdge market research data, as well as the most recent information available from various U.S. agencies, we analyzed more than 100 U.S. metros. Specifically, we assessed their strengths for life sciences success across several key indicators, such as innovation, the talent pool, and life sciences in the local office market. Below, we include a summary of the state of life sciences in the U.S. and rank the top 25 U.S. metros for life sciences that resulted from our comparative study.
National Highlights: A Look at Recent Life Sciences Growth Across the U.S.
Undoubtedly, life sciences activity in the U.S. makes for a thriving industry. In fact, half of the markets included in our comparative study saw double-digit percentage growth in the number of local life sciences establishments during the five years from 2018 through 2022. Then, by the start of 2023, the number of life sciences establishments had exceeded 1,000 in more than 30 of the metropolitan areas we compared.
Of course, the industry’s significant presence can also be seen in the real estate market: 20 of the locations we analyzed had a life sciences market segment that was larger than 1 million square feet by the start of 2024. Consequently, in terms of market share, our data showed that life sciences space accounted for more than 1% of the office market in 30 of the metropolitan areas we compared.
Meanwhile, from 2018 through 2023, 31 of the locations we analyzed had added new life sciences space to the local market. In eight of those markets, the expansion included more than 1 million square feet. Plus, growth in the sector looks poised to continue as ongoing market expansion plans show 28 of the metropolitan areas included in our study were home to life sciences developments that were in the planned or under-construction stages at the close of 2023.
What’s more, talent in the U.S. is not in short supply, either: In 17 of the metros we compared, the local talent pool encompassed more than 500,000 residents aged 25 and older who held at least a bachelor’s degree in science, engineering, and related fields. Of these, five locations boasted a talent pool larger than 1 million. Notably, 19 of the U.S. metros included in our study are home to more than 10 learning institutions that offer programs and/or majors in biological and biomedical sciences.
See our data in the table included directly below and the methodology section for details on metrics and scores. Then, read on for our deeper dive into the top 25 metros for life sciences in the U.S.
The 25 Best Metros for Life Sciences in the U.S.

For instance, the number of life sciences establishments in the metro increased roughly 41% from 2018 through 2022 to reach a total of nearly 560 by 2023. That equated to the 10th-largest rate of growth among the life sciences scenes we compared for this ranking, but the 43rd life sciences scene by number of establishments.
Methodology
For this ranking, we compared 102 metropolitan statistical areas for 12 metrics (indicators) across three categories — the local talent pool, the life sciences ecosystem, and the life sciences segment of the office market. The ranking did not include metropolitan areas for which existing life sciences real estate data was unavailable. Consequently, the final reference list consisted of 67 MSAs.
We considered local life sciences educational attainment and educational institutions as the most relevant talent pool indicators.
To gauge and compare the local life sciences sector in each of the metropolitan areas analyzed, we looked at data on employment in select occupations, the number of life sciences establishments, the growth of the local sector in five years, and local innovation as reflected in the number of patents earned by local inventors.
In the life sciences office market category, we scored data on the amount of existing life sciences square footage in the market; the share that this accounted for within the overall local office market; how much life sciences square footage was added since 2018; how much new life sciences property was currently in the pipeline in each MSA; and the most recent local average office asking rates.
For each metric, the number of maximum points was evenly distributed between the lowest and the highest metric values. On this scale, a score was calculated for each MSA based on its metric values. The factors (metrics or indicators) on which we based the composite scores are explained in the table below. For average office asking rates, the number of points awarded was inversely proportional to the metric values. For all other indicators, the number of points awarded was directly proportional to the metric values.
