Not a surprise that Austin is up there in the list. It's gotten to where a college education means absolutely nothing around here. It's about like have a highschool diploma.

Does that mean California is the most educated state in the US?

Atlanta @ #6??? No friggin way!

There is such thing as "over-educated." Rampant in SF.

Wow ... Washington, DC at #4 really surprises me.

I didn't read the article, but is this talking about the people who LIVE there or who WORK there?

if its the latter, then it makes sense.

 

[toekramp]

hooray, DC #4

Segregation clearly works. San Francisco has been moving towards segregation in the past few years. SF represent!

This has to be working population. Oakland at 11? That's the most ghetto city in the country.

Lots of rich people and private schools. Have you been to Oakland, ever? Richmond is more ghetto than Oakland.

Of course Seattle... those people can't do anything outdoors because of the rain so they may as well study.

Woo, Seattle...but, given the climate and better pay at SF, I'd give that the nod.

That better pay in SF would be eaten up by cost of living I think.

Look at all those democratic cities on that list.

You can all start flaming every one now.

WTF?

 

[Phoenix86]

Why mention median household income if you don't mention cost of living...?

 

[mrchan]

Actually, not too long ago some magazine did a report on the most "overpriced" cities in the US...basically comparing job opportunities, average pay, and cost of living. Seattle was higher than SF in the ranking, because (apparently) the cost of housing compared to the salary is better in SF...

I like Seattle, though, that's where I live.
