According to the Bay Area, two of the most educated metro areas in the United States are considered a new WalletHub study. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara took second place and San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley took fourth place on a list that beat 11 scientific statistics in 150 major metropolitan areas. Factors include the number of adults with a bachelor’s degree or higher, the quality of public schools in the area, and among others racial / gender education gaps.
Silicon Valley beat San Francisco and the East Bay as the highest percentage of bachelor’s or associate degree holders, but San Francisco – Oakland – Berkeley was the best in the Bay in the category of the number of graduate or professional degree holders. Ann Arbor, Michigan, was the largest city in the study.
According to the study, cities prefer highly trained workers to boost their economic growth and tax revenues. But highly educated cities may change in the future, depending on the trajectory of remote work and the effect of the COVID pandemic on the quality of education.
Here are the top 10 cities on the list.
1. Ann Arbor
San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, Virginia
