Triangle Ranked as America’s Smartest City
The Daily Beast compiled some numbers to determine which metro is America’s brainiest , and Raleigh-Durham came out on top. The criteria for the rankings of cities (of population 1,000,000 or more) was based in college degrees (and beyond), non-fiction book sales, presence of colleges, and voter turnout.
The top 10 included many usual suspects such as San Francisco, Denver, D.C., etc.. Charlotte ranks #16, Richmond is #29, Greensboro is #37, and Norfolk is #41. Congratulations, us!
