Could it be because Delaware is a preferred location due to corporate tax laws? Please note that in this case, this is a non-rhetorical question on my part. Transportation and tax shelters are out of my areas of interest. just wondering if the graphs may be of parent company post office box numbers instead of loading dock addresses.


No, it is probably chicken coops. I'd guess that one country is responsible for most of the eggs in New York, all those eggs going out means a lot of chicken food going in.

Corporate tax laws just mean any significant company has an official address in Delaware, which amounts to a private post office that gets official mail for a few hundred companies and forwards it to the real headquarters which isn't in Delaware.


There are no tax benefits to bring incorporated in Delaware if you are physically located in another state.

There are legal benefits, most of which benefit management over all other stakeholders.
