In terms of sheer numbers the State of Florida, South Florida specifically, out guns all other cities in the United States (except NY) for the thousands of mob guys who have lived there on either a part-time or year round basis.
And in terms of diversity, no other city or place (not even NYC) even comes close to South Florida as far as the varied number of crime families from across the entire U.S. who have settled there. LE has documented over the years nearly every single borgata as having had members or associates move there. I think they tracked something like 19-20 families out of the alleged 24-25 families as having planted a flag there at one time or another. 100%. True even now.

I read an international report that indicates that Florida also contains members of the Ndrangheta, Camorra & Sicilian CN (from Sicily).
In Sicily, women are more dangerous than the shotgun.

For some reason they don't seem to like the West Coast very much, but who knows Los Angeles may have a presence. Once Vegas opened up, anyone who was anyone in the California underworld moved there. Since then, the gangs have had too much power and numbers for any mobsters to muscle them out of the drug game, leaving only gambling and vice rackets which were never really big in California. California is mostly suburban communities where everything shuts down at 10pm on weeknights. Outside of Hollywood and San Francisco, only the tourist destinations, beach areas and central downtown districts have any kind of nightlife, unlike the northeast where there's bars and cardrooms everywhere.

Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea

California never had the large Italian pools of immigrants to draw a borgata from. The pickings were slim compared to the eastern families. Thats the primary reason. And the WC lacks the "Italianate' flavor the east coast has. another reason for less of a draw San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles had families at one time, with the LA family reportedly still functioning, albeit barely. So did Denver, with a crew in Pueblo. So there must have been large enough Italian populations in these regions to form families Vegas was key in depleting the west coast mafia families. The money train moved there and anyone who was anyone moved there and began working with Chicago, Kansas City, Detroit, Cleveland etc, not just Italians but the white protestant racketeers, City Hall gang, etc. What was left of the California mafia families dabbled in the drug game but eventually just moved into legitimate business and assimilated with middle class American life.
