There are three things you can count on in America: death, taxes, and hipsters in your cities. 

In honor of April Fools' Day, the real estate service Trulia analyzed the most hipstery spots in major American cities (so, their blog post says, you don't have to live near them). 

To determine these hipster hoods, Trulia looked for criteria including: 

• Hip stores: Madewell, Warby Parker, and Urban Outfitters provide the primary hipster garments.
• Swanky barbershops: For the mustaches.
• Consignment stores: Because they get their Chanel second-hand. 
• Healthy places: They love Soul Cycle.
• Dive Bars: $2 PBRs and pork belly banh mi sandwiches.
• Dogs: Hipsters love labradoodles and French bulldogs, preferably with a name like Olive or Stella.

Onto the hotspots.

Bay Area hipsters cluster in the Mission and — you guessed it — Oakland.

In Manhattan, anywhere below 23rd Street and above the Financial District is going to be high-end hipsterdom, as well as Williamsburg. Not pictured: The rest of Brooklyn, where the true hipsters live.
