The Northwest is indeed a hipster haven, according to a new survey conducted by MoveHub, an international relocation city. But globally, the top spot for hipsters goes to a city in the United Kingdom.
Seattle ranked fourth most hipster city in the world according to MoveHub's International Hipster Index, which combed through 446 cities across 20 countries. MoveHub looked at five data points: the number of vegan eateries, coffee shops, tattoo studios, vintage boutiques, and record stores per 100,000 city residents.
Out of the top ten, seven are within the United States. The number one spot went to Brighton and Hove in the UK.
But the Pacific Northwest dominated with the most cities in the top 10. Portland ranked number two and Spokane ranked tenth.
