Evanston IL Rated One Of The Most Educated Places in the USA in an article by NerdWallet. Evanston made 24 on the top 100 list. The list was compiled with a formula based upon the highest percentage of Residents with a high school diploma or associate degree, Residents with a bachelor’s degree, Residents with a master’s degree, Residents with a doctorate, Residents with a professional degree. Pretty impressive. There are some smart cookies walking around here.
NerdWallet says: "To find the most educated places, NerdWallet analyzed U.S. Census Bureau data on the educational levels of residents in over 2,000 places. See the methodology section at the end of this article for more details.
High school and college graduation factor more heavily in our rankings than other levels of education because these are the two most common levels achieved. About 86% of Americans 25 years or older have at least graduated from high school, and 29% hold at least a bachelor’s degree. In contrast, only 8% of Americans have a master’s degree, 2% hold professional degrees and 1% have doctorates."
