America's Most Creative Cities

[Max Householder]

"According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the creative economy accounts for 4.2% of the GDP and is valued at $704 billion. It’s also a segment of the economy that’s still growing."

1) NY

2) San Fran

3) Seattle

4) LA

5) Minneapolis

6) Portland

7) St. Louis

8) Austin

9) Boston

10) Milwaukee

"Perhaps surprisingly to some, St. Louis ranked highly in multiple categories, including education, with a high number of creative schools per capita. St. Louis also has a healthy motion picture and video editing sector.

As housing in larger cities continues to rise out of reach for many artists and creative professionals, smaller creative hubs like St. Louis and Minneapolis could benefit from an influx of people seeking a more affordable lifestyle."
