To determine the Most And Least Educated Cities In America, financial site WalletHub took a look at the 150 largest metros in the U.S. and ranked them according to nine weighted metrics, including percentage of adult residents with a high school diploma, associate’s degree, baccalaureate degree, graduate or professional degree, or above; number of doctors per capita; percentage of workers with jobs in “computer, engineering, and sciences fields;” quality of public schools and universities; and the number of students enrolled in the top 200 universities in the U.S., per capita.Most of the top ten were ... no surprise ... university towns. Did we need a study to know this? The only strange member of the top ten was Baltimore, MD, which is nobody's idea of an educated or high tech mecca.
The bottom ten are a whole different story, five of the ten are in CA and 7 of 10 are in areas with a heavy influx of Hispanic migrants, either agricultural CA or border TX. Lakeland, FL, Beaumont, TX, and Rockford, IL, have other issues.
