Hey guys, my family is from Alabama, so I'm considering staying local for college. Do any of you know which city in Alabama has the most college graduates?
According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Huntsville, Alabama has the highest percentage of residents over 25 with a bachelor's degree or higher among Alabama's cities. Around 41.5% of its adult population (based on 2020 data) has at least a bachelor's degree. Known as "Rocket City" for its long-standing affiliation with NASA, Huntsville is home to several universities and colleges, including the University of Alabama in Huntsville, Alabama A&M University, and Oakwood University. This strong academic presence likely contributes to its higher rate of college graduates. Hope this helps!
