Lists & Rankings: America’s techiest cities: Silicon Valley No. 1, but who’s No. 2?
The highest concentration of IT professionals in the U.S. is — you guessed it — in Silicon Valley. But naming the No 2 spot isn’t as easy, and the answer might surprise you.
The runner-up isn’t a well-known tech center like Boston or Seattle/Redmond; it’s the Washington metro area.
From the article:
Data for 2006 from the U.S. Census Bureau’s annual American Community Survey (ACS), released just last month, reveal what could be called a metropolitan area’s “TQ” (technology quotient) — how “techie” a region’s overall workforce is, based on the number of self-reported computer professionals. And some of the results turn stereotypes upside down. (See our interactive national map, or query the database for a specific metro area.)
