To be even remotely interesting, these numbers need to be ratios of degree density over population density. Of course the city with the densest population in the country (NYC) scores highly. I'd be interested to see the normalized numbers.
- altano 16y agoI thought this too but there are some things of interest since this list isn't the same as a list of just population density (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population_density http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by...). We can infer the percent of the general population of LA and Miami with a degree is slightly below average, Seattle's above average, etc. You're basically right though: this list is stupid. > ratios of degree density over population density A simpler way of stating it would be what percent of the population has a degree.
