Boise Ranks Higher on the 'U.S. Hipster Index' Than You Think

Oh hey look, Boise on another top 10 list. But is it a good thing this time?

Movehub.com has compiled what they say is the official index of where to find the most hipsters in America. How do they define a hipster? By looking at what cities contain the most of the following:

Microbreweries
Vegan stores
Thrift shops
Annual rent demand increase
Tattoo shops

Our neighbors in Salt Lake City nearly topped the list, bested only by Vancouver, Washington. The surprising thing is where they ranked Boise.

We were 4th, with a "U.S. Hipster Index Score" of 7.043.

How Portland came in 12th on this list is beyond me. You literally cannot walk a single block without someone asking you to check out their band, or worse, share some kombucha tea with you. You wouldn't get it.

Also, the book was better.
