Sadly, educated doesn't automatically equal intelligent.

Hattiesburg gets listed as a great retirement destination because of the large number of doctors and golf courses in the area.

Not my first or second or third choice, but they do have a lot of doctors

To determine which city in each state is the most well-educated, the research team at Insurify, a website to compare insurance quotes, crunched the numbers from its database of over 1.6 million car insurance applications. To apply for quotes, interested customers input personal and vehicle information, including their city of residence and highest level of education. Using a proprietary scoring algorithm, analysts calculated an education score for each customer based on educational history and achievement. For high school students, the probability of advancing to college based on current grade point average (GPA) was also factored into the calculation.

The resulting data set was then divided by city, and the average education score for each city was collected. The cities with the highest education score in each state were then selected.


So people know how it was determined

This is wrong too. The answer is Boston or Cambridge.

Boston College, Boston University, Northeastern, Tufts, Harvard, MIT (and I'm leaving a lot out).

Auburn, because of it's size would beat out Huntsville. All those college professors bring Auburn up because they are in a smaller pond. Huntsville metro is now the second largest city in Alabama. I cannot believe Atlanta beat out Athens.
