You wake up in the morning, slip into your khakis and polo shirt, pop, the collar, and meet up with your college friends for brunch at the country club (you cover the bill). In the afternoon, you pick up your youngest from private school and check the mail to find a letter from Billy in boarding school, telling you that college prep is going just swell. Then it\u2019s time for some tennis\u2026 or was it polo, or golf? There are just so many choices here in Preppy Land. Whatever you choose, you can always do something different tomorrow, since you\u2019re a member\u2014and membership has its privileges.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_17402\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17402\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/preppy-guys.jpg\" alt=\"Source: preppyboy.com\" width=\"250\" height=\"233\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17402\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: preppyboy.com<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nHere at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\">Movoto Real Estate<\/a> blog, we realize that America is made up of countless subcultures, and we\u2019ve made it a sort of mission to find out which cities they actually call home (well, except for hipsters, that is). For our latest bit of Saturday Night Science, we decided to turn our lens on the preppy, that ever-smiling, perpetually well-off subset of society that gravitates toward quality, classic clothing, equestrian sports, and country club living. Oh, and preparatory schools. Gotta have those.<br \/>\nNow, you probably think you know where the preppiest cities in America are already. They\u2019re all in the Northeast, right? New England, or if they could possibly be somewhere else, it\u2019s probably coastal. Well, we thought so, too. Until we ran the data, that is.<br \/>\nAfter sipping a mimosa and browsing the L.L.Bean catalog for a bit, we pored over our criteria and determined that, based on it, the preppiest big city in the nation is on the West Coast, and it\u2019s San Francisco, CA. Anyone who\u2019s ever taken a stroll through the Marina, driven around Nob Hill, or just gone shopping in the city can attest.<br \/>\nSan Fran is joined in its preppiness by a top 10 list that certainly holds some surprises:<br \/>\n1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/ca\/san-francisco.html\">San Francisco, CA<\/a><br \/>\n2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/az\/scottsdale.html\">Scottsdale, AZ<\/a><br \/>\n3. Honolulu, HI<br \/>\n4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/nc\/raleigh.html\">Raleigh, NC<\/a><br \/>\n5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/wa\/seattle.html\">Seattle, WA<\/a><br \/>\n6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/ma\/boston.html\">Boston, MA<\/a><br \/>\n7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/nc\/charlotte.html\">Charlotte, NC<\/a><br \/>\n8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/tx\/plano.html\">Plano, TX<\/a><br \/>\n9. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/or\/portland.html\">Portland, OR<\/a><br \/>\n10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/dc\/washington.html\">Washington, D.C.<\/a><br \/>\nThey\u2019re only surprises, though, until you consider what really makes a city preppy. That\u2019s exactly what we did, and it resulted in a set of criteria against which we ranked the country\u2019s most populous cities in terms of preppiness. We\u2019ll explain all that\u2014and divulge the full top 50 ranking\u2014below.<\/p>\n<h2>How We Did It<\/h2>\n<p>Regular readers of the blog will know our process by now, but for those who\u2019re newcomers\u2014new members of our very own city ranking country club, if you will\u2014here\u2019s how it works. In order to rank cities by fun stuff like their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/nerd-cities\/\">nerdiness<\/a> or, in this case, preppiness, we come up with a set of criteria that we feel can be used to measure such things. This time, we used:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Number of preppy clothing retailers per capita<\/li>\n<li>Country clubs per capita<\/li>\n<li>Equestrian centers per capita<\/li>\n<li>Private schools per capita<\/li>\n<li>Presence of boarding\/preparatory schools<\/li>\n<li>Percentage of college graduates with a bachelor\u2019s degree or higher<\/li>\n<li>Median household income<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We then looked up data for these criteria using resources including Yellowpages.com, Yelp, retailer websites, Yachtclub.com, Boardingschools.com, and the U.S. Census for the top 100 most populous cities in America. Once the data was acquired, we ranked each city from one to 100 across all the criteria, with one being the best. We used the average of these scores to determine each city\u2019s final <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/kind-of-a-big-deal-lists\/\">Big Deal Score<\/a>, the number we used to determine their overall preppiness. The lower this number, the better\u2014and the more preppy.<br \/>\nSome things of note: We only considered retailers, schools, country clubs, etc. that are actually located within the cities proper, not the metropolitan areas. Also, since preppiness is largely about a particular look and lifestyle, we weighted the ranking towards preppy retailers, high incomes, and prep schools.<br \/>\nIn the following section, we\u2019ll go over why we picked each criterion and how specific cities stacked up when measured against them, so cinch up that ascot and come along.<\/p>\n<h2>Prep Schools: They\u2019re Not Just in the Northeast<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the origin of the term \u201cpreppy\u201d itself: college preparatory schools. From a list of all prep schools in the U.S., we gave points to cities on our overall list of 100 for having one within their city limits. As it turns out, only 17 of the 100 most populous cities in the country have at least one:<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_17404\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17404\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17404\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/preppie-guide.jpg\" alt=\"Source: offthecuffdc.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"395\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17404\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: offthecuffdc.com<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Anchorage, AK<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/md\/baltimore.html\">Baltimore, MD<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Boston, MA<\/li>\n<li>Charlotte, NC<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/il\/chicago.html\">Chicago, IL<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/oh\/cleveland.html\">Cleveland, OH<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/tx\/dallas.html\">Dallas, TX<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/nc\/greensboro.html\">Greensboro, NC<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/tx\/lubbock.html\">Lubbock, TX<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/tn\/memphis.html\">Memphis, TN<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/az\/mesa.html\">Mesa, AZ<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/la\/new-orleans.html\">New Orleans, LA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/pa\/pittsburgh.html\">Pittsburgh, PA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/nc\/raleigh.html\">Raleigh, NC<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/ca\/riverside.html\">Riverside, CA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/tx\/san-antonio.html\">San Antonio, TX<\/a><\/li>\n<li>San Francisco, CA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Preppy Stores: Popped Collars and Socks-less Shoes<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_17396\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17396\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17396\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/preppy-shoppers.jpg\" alt=\"Source: Flickr user Magda Wojtyra\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17396\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr user Magda Wojtyra<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nWe\u2019re not going to deny it: A huge factor in overall preppiness is simply looking the part. While you can find clothing from classically preppy brands such as J.Crew, Ralph Lauren, and Tommy Hilfiger at your local Macy\u2019s, we figured that truly preppy locales are going to be important enough to these brands that they\u2019ll have stand-alone stores there. So, we tracked down how many of those there are per capita in each city.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/fl\/orlando.html\">Orlando, FL<\/a> strolled out with a win wearing deck shoes in this category, with one preppy retailer for every 40,533 residents. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/nv\/las-vegas.html\">Las Vegas, NV<\/a> came in a distant second with one for every 84,188, while Greensboro, NC has one for every 91,142.<\/p>\n<h2>Country Clubs: The Preppy\u2019s Home Away From Home<\/h2>\n<p>Being accepted into a private country club is kind of like a preppy badge of honor, and we figured that any city with a high degree of preppiness is going to need more of these institutions per capita to keep up with demand. Also, they\u2019re typically where those of the preppy persuasion will partake in a game of tennis or round of golf, two of the most popular preppy sports (polo, bocce ball, and croquet being some others).<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/nj\/newark.html\">Newark, NJ<\/a> has a lot of country clubs. In fact, it has one for every 4,704 residents. Not too far behind is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/az\/chandler.html\">Chandler, AZ<\/a>, which has one for every 7,745 folks who live there. Orlando, FL makes the individual ranking once again with one country club for every 9,354 people in its part of the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n<h2>Private Schools: Where It All Begins<\/h2>\n<p>Before prep school and college, the educational career of the preppy begins in private elementary, middle, and high schools. It\u2019s also common for preppies to place their kids into private school when it\u2019s time for the young ones to begin their schooling. For this reason, we factored in how many of these institutions there are per capita in each city on our list of 100.<br \/>\nSan Francisco, CA is a private school paradise, with one for every 6,451 residents. Not too far behind it, with one for every 7,929 people, is Honolulu, HI. In third place with one for every 9,431 residents is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/ca\/fremont.html\">Fremont, CA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Equestrian Centers: Hold Your Horses<\/h2>\n<p>Some preppy sporting activities involve horses, and they also need venues to house and perform on these regal animals. That\u2019s why we picked equestrian centers and stables for our ranking. Preppies put their equine friends up, participate in dressage competitions, and travel to and from the polo fields from these horsie hotels.<br \/>\nScottsdale, AZ trotted to a victory in this category, with one equestrian center for every 22,102 residents. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/ca\/anaheim.html\">Anaheim, CA<\/a> has one for every 42,670 residents and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/ca\/oakland.html\">Oakland, CA<\/a> placed a close third with one per every 43,980 people.<\/p>\n<h2>Yacht Clubs: Prepare the the Sails<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_17399\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17399\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/yachts-sailing.jpg\" alt=\"Source: Flickr user Donan Raven\" width=\"250\" height=\"167\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17399\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr user Donan Raven<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nWhen they\u2019re not getting their fill of fancier sports from riding on horseback, you\u2019ll often find preppies sailing. Sorry, we mean yachting. They\u2019re not alone, either. There are yacht clubs all across the U.S.\u2014anywhere there\u2019s enough water, really\u2014where preppies gather to discuss and promote their aquatic sport of choice. That, and generally be preppy.<br \/>\nYou\u2019ll find the most yacht clubs per capita in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/oh\/toledo.html\">Toledo, OH<\/a>, of all places, which has one for every 28,604 residents. Another Ohio city, Cleveland, placed second with one for every 39,381 people. The only coastal city to place in the top three, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/ca\/long-beach.html\">Long Beach, CA<\/a>, was third with one for every 42,325 residents.<\/p>\n<h2>College Graduates: What All That Prep Work Was For<\/h2>\n<p>All that time in prep school has a purpose: to get into college. Not just any college, but a good one\u2014and do really well once you get there. Well enough, we figured, that you\u2019d leave with at least a bachelor\u2019s degree. So, we linked the percentage of people in each city who achieve just that to the place\u2019s overall preppiness.<br \/>\nIt turns out that a full 65 percent of the residents in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/ca\/irvine.html\">Irvine, CA<\/a> have at least a bachelor\u2019s degree from college. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/wa\/seattle.html\">Seattle, WA<\/a> residents rank second at 55.8 percent, while the folks in San Francisco, CA are at 54.1 percent.<\/p>\n<h2>Median Household Income: This Lifestyle Isn\u2019t Cheap<\/h2>\n<p>For our final criterion, we factored in the almighty dollar. It\u2019s an unavoidable fact that living the preppy lifestyle is expensive, what with all those country club and yacht club memberships. Thankfully, with all that college learning comes higher-paying jobs, which at least partially contribute to a higher median household income. We looked at how much households make across our 100 city lineup and ranked them accordingly.<br \/>\nAt number one is Fremont, CA, whose households earn an average of $98,513 per year. This Bay Area city is followed by Honolulu, HI, where households bring in $93,439 yearly on average. In third place, Irvine, CA households make $92,599 annually.<\/p>\n<h2>Welcome to Preppyville, USA<\/h2>\n<p>When everything we found was averaged out, San Francisco, CA shot to the head of the class as America\u2019s Most Preppy City. So, if you\u2019re looking to adopt this luxurious lifestyle\u2014or at least pretend that you have\u2014we suggest that you put down the roof on the Benz convertible, put on your most expensive pair of Wayfarer sunglasses, and get yourself to the City by the Bay.
