To identify the most and least educated cities in America, WalletHub’s analysts compared the 150 most populated U.S. MSAs across two key dimensions, including “Educational Attainment” and “Quality of Education & Attainment Gap.”
They evaluated those categories using nine metrics to include quality of public school system, average quality of universities, gender and racial education gap.
