Austin and six more Texas cities are soaring to new heights among the best places in the U.S. for women in tech, a new report says.
The Texas capital city ranked No. 6 nationwide in SmartAsset's new report, "Best and Worst Cities for Women in Tech — 2026 Study," which compared the 50 biggest U.S. cities across four metrics:
Gender pay gap — women's median earnings as a percentage of men’s median earnings in tech
The share of all tech workers that are women
The overall concentration of employment for tech workers, defined as "tech workers as a share of the local workforce"
Women tech workers’ median earnings, adjusted for regional price parity
For the purpose of the study, tech workers are defined as "city residents employed in computer and mathematical occupations."
The study's findings show over 12,000 tech workers in Austin are women, or nearly 23 percent of the total tech workforce in the city. Tech workers in general make up less than 9 percent of the total workforce in Austin.
