San Jose: The Most Innovative City in America

This May Forbes Magazine crowned San Jose as “the most innovative city in America”:

For our ranking we started with the 100 largest metropolitan statistical areas in the U.S. and used data from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to determine number of patents per capita. Then we combined it with venture capital investment per capita from the National Venture Capital Association, along with those cities’ ratios of high-tech, science and “creative” jobs from ZoomProspector.com and Payscale.com.

It’s no surprise that Silicon Valley, specifically the city of San Jose and neighbors like Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View and Cupertino, ranked first in all four of those categories.
