It's nice to know Arizona didn't rank anywhere near the top 10 this year. In 2015, Scottsdale landed at the number four spot in the nation for snobbiest city. It's now fallen to number 23 on the Road Snacks ranking.

Road Snacks stresses that this ranking is all in fun. They used other "not-so-sciency" metrics to compile the list.

Factors like "the city’s reputation for aloof and smarty-pants residents, the presence of high-end shopping, good-looking locals, trendy food trucks, and highbrow cultural offerings like classical music and theater". Obviously, these factors are based on opinions.
