Mountain View is described as "a techie's dream town, even to those who don't land a coveted job at Google's corporate headquarters." 

Factors included the number of 25- to 34-year-olds living in each city, the availability of rental properties, unemployment rates, educational attainment levels, use of public transportation and the types of jobs these places offer. We also sought out cities that cater to a younger demographic by offering lots of recreational activities, hot nightlife and a hip vibe.
