I think it's worth considering national labs too, even though some are implicitly included through association with nearby universities. The Bay Area has SLAC, LBNL, LLNL and NASA Ames. Chicago has FNAL and ANL. NYC has Brookhaven. Atlanta has CDC. Denver has NIST nearby in Boulder. LA has JPL. And of course DC has a whole bunch of stuff.
