The Daily Beast explain how they compiled the list:
"To find America's 10 Angriest Cities we combined the turnout totals per capita for the Tea Party's April 15, 2009 protests and the Occupy Wall Street protests on October 15, 2011-with data from Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight Blog, and reliable reports and estimates-to find the number of protesters per million residents in cities with more than 500,000 people.

Portland, with 8,197 protesters per million, and Seattle, with 6,902, round out the top-three.
