It's official. Austin can no longer be kept weird, because it isn't weird.

Using U.S. Census data, Lyman Stone, a cotton economist who blogs about migration, created two lists: the most normal and the weirdest cities in the country. Stone used 20 different variables like the proportion of a city that if foreign born, married, working, in the armed forces, owns a car, and so on.

Stone said San Jose tops the list because "Silicon Valley makes San Jose very weird." He said that New York is weird because "it's just so darn urban." Laredo and McAllen are the only two Texas cities to make the weird list, completely leaving Austin out.

Weirdness is derived from the city's population and how much of it is foreign-born. Stone said that the more foreign-born citizens there are in a city, the weirder they are.
