I'm exploring potential cities to move to after graduation. I'm interested in a city with high percentage of college graduates so I can connect with similar-minded people. Can you help me figure out which city holds that title?
Sure, I'd be glad to provide some insight. According to recent data, the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area has the highest percentage of residents with a Bachelor's degree or higher, at around 54%. This is likely because it is a hub for industries that usually require a college degree, such as government, consulting, and non-profit work.
Following Washington D.C., the San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, and Raleigh-Durham also have high percentages of college-educated residents, reflecting their strong tech, education, and research sectors. Other cities with a high proportion of college graduates include Seattle, Austin, Denver, and Minneapolis.
Remember, while this data could be a good starting point for your search, finding a city that aligns with your personal and career interests, lifestyle preferences, and cost of living expectations is equally important.
