When you hear the word "hipster," Brooklyn might be the first place that comes to mind.
But a new study by LawnStarter found that there are places all over America that hipsters flock to.
To determine 2021's Best Cities for Hipsters, LawnStarter compared the 150 biggest U.S. cities based on 23 "anti-mainstream" factors like access to thrift stores, record stores, farmer's markets, and biking friendliness.
According to their findings, Sacramento just missed the top 20 coming in at No. 21.
These are the top 25 best cities for hipsters in 2021:
- San Francisco, CA
- Portland, OR
- Oakland, CA
- Fort Lauderdale, FL
- Jersey City, NJ
- Tempe, AZ
- Huntington Beach, CA
- Honolulu, HI
- Providence, RI
- New Orleans, LA
- Santa Rosa, CA
- Washington, DC
- Salt Lake City, UT
- Glendale, CA
- Richmond, VA
- Seattle, WA
- Ontario, CA
- Boston, MA
- Long Beach, CA
- Cincinnati, OH
- Sacramento, CA
- Anaheim, CA
- Irvine, CA
- Atlanta, GA
- Rochester, NY
Several California cities made it to the top 10, which LawnStarter found surprising. Here's what the website had to say about it:
"Besides San Francisco, two other Golden State cities climb to the top 10: Oakland, a Bay Area suburb, finishes third, while Huntington Beach, part of the Los Angeles metro, ranks seventh. Both are especially ideal for a hipster diet: In the Food and Drink category, Oakland is third, and Huntington Beach is fourth, the latter boasting the highest number of Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods locations per 100,000 residents in the country."
