You're expanding that boundary a little too much. There's not many hipsters east of 39th or north of Killingsworth. Once you get to 82nd or Columbia there's none. They stay further in than that.
I agree with this. While there is a concentration of hipsters in the close-in NE and SE areas, farther out areas past 39th and certainly past 50th in those areas and even nearer in the larger SW areas except for a pocket or two SW has very few if any of a hipster population.
What is portrayed on "Portlandia" is very misleading and is only a very small part of the city such as Williamsburg would be to NYC on a larger scale of comparison.
No denying we have our share but I would be very surprised if we had the most.
Just cause you don't think of it doesn't it make any less hipster. How would you know if you haven't been to them? In fact, what if they are actually more hipster than Portland or Austin? Wouldn't it actually be more hipster to be less know for being hipster because Portland seems like an oxymoron to me: well-know mainstream hipster mecca, but Minneapolis, Philly, complete unknown yet completely hipster? Sounds pretty hipster.
Also, I am going to add Somerville and Cambridge Massachusetts to these lists.
Doubling my salary for a two year management stint with my company for a new software rollout....that's what makes it more desireable.
Ok, Lincoln can be a good place if you have a good paying job, but it really doesn't offer very much beyond that unless one is a diehard Huskers fan. Also, the bad weather and browness of the landscape are negatives.

I won't fight you there. The weather is rough, the landscape is dreary, and the wind is crazy. I don't get these husker fans either...it's a little nuts. But I grew up in the south so I get the whole college football thing. But like you said....cash makes all things a little more tolerable.
Asheville has changed for the worse though, IMO. It used to be great....now it is RIDDLED with these hipster kids and northeastern transplants eager to tell you why the north is so much better than the south......not for me.

Oh, I don't know, I think Bitof makes a good point. The OP is sticking to the stereotypical examples of the hipster envrionments but I am sure there must be many more. This is a pretty narrow list from which to choose when considering the entire US.

Asheville, NC is very hipster as well. It's one a lot of people don't think of but its true.
