A college education is an important key to success in America. Having a degree can lead to more career opportunities, job security, and pay increases. People with college degrees in the United States earn a weekly wage that is about 67 percent higher than those with a high school diploma.
While college isn't in everyone's plans, there is one California city that is far more educated than others.
24/7 Wall St compiled a list of each state's most educated city. The website states:
"All data in this story are five-year estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2019 American Community Survey. We considered all census “place” geographies — a category that includes incorporated legal entities and census-designated statistical entities. Places with populations of 25,000 or less, or with high margins of error in education data, were excluded from analysis."
According to the data, the most educated city in California is Los Altos.
Over 84 percent of adults in Los Altos have a bachelor's degree. Which is a big jump from the state's overall percentage which is just under 40 percent.
