Finding the best cities for hipsters
It’s difficult to define the undefinable, but we did our best to determine the best cities for hipsters. First, we looked at the percentage of the population between the ages of 20 and 34. Then we crunched some numbers, from a city’s median income to the average rent price for a studio apartment. The bike-a-bility score came into play, along with the density of hipster-friendly businesses. Think: local coffee shops, craft breweries, record stores, organic markets … you get the picture.
So where are the best cities for hipsters?
1. Seattle, WA
3. Tempe, AZ

So load up that vintage suitcase with your vinyl and beard oil (just not together) and set your sights on one of these 10 best cities to live the ultimate hipster lifestyle.
