How Many States Played Host to 3 Mafia Families?

How many states were there, within the United States, that played host to three (3) Cosa Nostra Families operating within its borders?

If you can, name the states, and the particular families, who operated there.

PS: To qualify it further. How many states actually had 3 Mafia Families "headquartered" and "based" within its borders.

Pennsylvania, Ohio, Connecticut.

California comes to mind (San Jose, San Francisco and Los Angeles/SoCal) and then Illinois (Rockford, Chicago and Springfield).

Illinois

California, Nevada, Colorado, Texas, Missouri, Milwaukee, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut had 3 or more families operating within their boarders.

As for Headquarters and Based with three families: California (Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose), Illinois (Chicago, Rockford, Springfield), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Pittston), New York (Buffalo, Rochester, The Five Families).

New York (5 Families,DeCavalcantes,Buffalo,Rochester)
Massachusetts (Patriarca,Philadelphia,Genovese,Gambino)
Florida (Trafficante,5 Families,DeCavalcantes,Cleveland etc)
Pennsylvania (Philadelphia,Bufalino,Pittsburgh)
California (San Jose, San Francisco and Los Angeles)
Illinois (Rockford, Chicago and Springfield).
Nevada (Chicago,Detroit,KC,St Louis etc)

Today apart the State of New York and the Massachusettsin,in the New Jersey there are the dying DeCavalcantes in the North,the Philly mob in the South and the other 5 families in the middle.
The Philly Boston crew was disbanded,right?

I think we're getting a bit off track here fellas. The original question is;

"How many states played host to THREE (3) Mafia Families?"....no more...no less. Specifically, 3 families.

And these families had to be originally "based" and "headquartered" out of those cities. Not travelers who migrated there for a short time to operate in the area.

Some states had many, many Mafia crews operating within its borders...from a variety of different families. A great example of this would be Miami Beach, and South Florida in general. Over the years, if they didn't have at least 18-20 borgatas active down there at one time or another, they didn't have one.

But thats not the question, men.

The question is....

"How many states played host to SPECIFICALLY three (3) Families within its borders, who called those particular states their "home" and "home base" - as their "headquarters" ?

Philadelphia,Bufalino,Pittsburgh - Pennsylvania
Chicago,Rockford,Springfield - Illinois
Los Angeles,San Francisco,San Josè - California

Nevada was with Reno and Las Vegas a base for almost all the families from 1931 to 1990s same thing with the Florida. So for me must be counted.

There were a few states who had more, and plenty of states who had less, but there were only three states known to have three Mafia Families indigenous and headquartered within its borders….


1) California - on the west coast (Los Angeles, San Jose, San Francisco)

2) Illinois - in the midwest (Chicago, Rockford, Springfield)

3) Pennsylvania - on the east coast (Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Pittston)
