Austin again outranks Silicon Valley as best tech city again

[Neil Narayan]

Austin continues to outshine the San Francisco Bay Area. For the second year in a row, Austin tops a list of the best tech towns in the U.S., with both Silicon Valley and San Francisco slipping in the third annual ranking.

Based on job-posting data from August 2019 to July 2020, the CompTIA trade group looked at 20 metro areas with populations over 250,000 and where demand for tech workers is greatest. CompTIA then ranked the metros on cost of living, number of postings for IT jobs, and projected IT job growth over the next year as well as the next five years. The analysis placed Austin in first place.
