Using the 2008-2012 ACS estimates for places with at least 1,000 population, Business Insider made a map showing, for each state, the town with the highest percentage of adults over 25 who have at least a bachelor's degree
quote:
Some are college towns, like University Heights, Iowa, and Wellesley, Massachusetts. Indeed, for four states — California, Mississippi, New York, and Pennsylvania — the highest-ranking place was actually a college campus. Since we're focusing on towns, we removed the college campuses from our list.

Populations ranged from a little over 1,000 (our chosen lower cutoff) to .... city of 106,000

Druid hills? Never would have thought...

They removed degree holders on college campuses from consideration. That cuts college town numbers significantly.

Druid Hills isn't a town, it's a neighborhood.
And I would guess the only reason it is that high is because a lot of Emory profs and graduate/doctorate students live in the area.

Im guessing you guys fall under the least educated portion of your perspective towns.
This is not a list of just college towns, they removed college towns from the list. They did not remove degree holders from college towns .

Indian Hills, KY isn't a town. It's a subdivision in Louisville. No, not even a "neighborhood" that was incorporated in the merger. Literally a subdivision and a pretty small one at that.

Granted it is an old subdivision, but they have private cops and they would not let Rick Pitino move there. Had to move into the "new" subdivision across the street.

True, but just saying. It isn't a "town" and you can't even make the argument that it is.
It makes sense when Anchorage makes these lists because it technically is a town.

It's a town in the same way that Jeffersontown is. We all know it's in Louisville but it has a rather large inflated self-worth.
ETA: I think they fought with the state to be named a separate city but are still part of "Louisville Metro".

Yeah, Oak Hills Place is a census designated place in unincorporated East Baton Rouge. About to be the city of St. George though if secession goes through.

Anyone else notice how many of these towns have Hills in the name??

Madison has over 50% with at least a bachelor's, then Huntsville has highest concentration of engineers per capita in the country.
Alabama has a few bright spots.
