Like Raleigh-Durham, the Bay Area’s great universities (University of California-Berkeley) spawned a world-class technology hub, and the brains follow. On a per-capita basis, the number of people with college and graduate degrees was right at the top. The Bay Area only fell short of No. 1 because of a relatively low score in political engagement, undercutting the reputation of this notorious activist hotspot.
Top 20:
- Raleigh - Durham
- San Francisco - Oakland - San Jose
- Boston
- Minneapolis-St.Paul
- Denver
- Hartford-New Haven
- Seattle-Tacoma
- Washington, DC
- Portland, OR
- Baltimore
- Philadelphia
- Austin
- New York
- Salt Lake City
- Milwaukee
- Charlotte
- Kansas City
- Columbus
- Nashville
- San Diego
For some reason, it doesn’t surprise me at all that Fresno is all the way at the bottom of the list.
