WalletHub looked at the 150 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. to rank the most educated cities. These Bay Area spots made the top of the list.
Topping the list at number one was Ann Harbor, Michigan, then San Jose, Sunnyvale, and Santa Clara, together, ranked second.
The Washington D.C. metropolitan area took third, and San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley came in at fourth. WalletHub said they used 11 key metrics looking at adults aged 25 and older with a bachelor's degree or higher. They also looked at the quality of the public school system and the gender education gap.Experts say not all highly educated people flock to the same areas though. While many like to be among those they have similar education levels for socializing and career connections, others like to be a big fish in a little pond.
