AUSTIN (KXAN) - Forbes Magazine and the San Francisco-based startup Nextdoor.com ranked the top 20 places where hipsters reside and amazingly enough, the revitalized area of East Austin made it to No. 7 on the list.
To determine the top 20 locations, the magazine dug through data on more than 250 neighborhoods in the biggest U.S. cities -- ranging from walkability to the number of bars in the area.
The Silver Lake area in Los Angeles got the coveted No. 1 spot, but pockets of San Francisco, Brooklyn, and Wicker Park Chicago are also hipper than East Austin.
The only other area in Texas on the list is the Lower Westheimer area in Houston.
