The 25 Most Educated Cities In America
The social finance site analyzed 150 of America's largest cities, looking at two major categories: "education level" and "quality of education," They broke those categories into nine metrics such as the higher educational degrees of the adult population, number of doctors per capita, and the ranking of their public schools, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, GreatSchools.org and U.S. News & World Report.
