Anita Andrews analyzed Meetup data to see what could be learnt about the global tech scene.  It’s not a perfect analysis — lots of tech events happen outside of Meetup, for example.  There’s still a lot of interesting stuff in here, and a great jumping off point for additional research.  Here’s an interesting point about Las Vegas, the only city with a majority of women in tech:

In Las Vegas, women make up 65% of the tech scene. This is the only top tech center where women are the majority. Why the anomaly?

Outside of the tech bubble, Vegas is a welcoming place for females on a number of fronts. For one, the city has had a female mayor, Carolyn Goodman, since 2011. Across the country, only 18.4% of cities with populations over 30,000 can claim that level of female leadership. Additionally, Nevada ranks highest in the nation for gender paycheck equality, with women earning around 85 cents on the dollar compared to men.

Not that I’m moving to Las Vegas anytime soon.  Oakland comes in #2 at 46.8%, though …
