“Bizjournals On Numbers compared the educational attainment of men and women in 942 metropolitan and micropolitan areas, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2010 American Community Survey. The percentage of men possessing four-year college degrees is higher than the comparable percentage of women in 485 markets. But women hold the educational edge in 431 metros and micros. The two sexes broke even in the remaining 26 markets. The accompanying database (scroll to end of article) contains complete breakdowns for all 942 areas. Use the tab to isolate a single state, or simply hit Search to see the top-to-bottom rankings. The list can be re-sorted by clicking any column header. (Click a second time to reverse the sort.)”
