Alaska wasn't shown on most of the maps that were linked to the article, that's why I didn't mention income or education level.
"It also has education levels higher than either New York or California."
According to your stats, that's certainly not the case for higher education – Alaska scores below the national average.
Bachelor's degree or more:
DC 48.5%, New York 32.4%, California 29.9%, US average 27.9%, Alaska 26.6%
Advanced degree or more:
DC 28%, New York 14%, California 10.7%, US average 10.3%, Alaska 9%
- Turing_Machine 14y ago"According to your stats, that's certainly not the case for higher education" I didn't say "higher" education. I said "education levels". 20% of Californians don't even have a high school education, which is pretty bad. If you want to argue that allegedly liberal states like New York and California tend to be bimodal, with an elite overclass and an impoverished underclass, I won't disagree.
