A recent study by WalletHub looked at 150 of the largest metropolitan areas to examine the most and least educated cities in the U.S. The data researchers examined ranged from adults 25 and older with a bachelor’s degree or higher, as well as the racial education gap and the quality of public schools.
The findings were sobering, to say the least, where four Texas cities made the top 10 for least educated.
Only one Texas metropolitan area, Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown, made the top 10 most educated, coming in 10th.
Out of 150 cities, Corpus Christi and Beaumont-Port Arthur, Texas were ranked 142 and 143, respectively. Then McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Texas was ranked 148th followed by Brownsville-Harlingen at 149.
Visalia, California, meanwhile took the title as the least educated city, while Ann Arbor, Michigan was named the most educated.

I believe it is very hard to judge people in any area by their “Education Level” attained in a College or University. Many peole read much of their knowledge and get no “College or University” acreditation level on paper for their studies. I am a prime example of that kind of learning. Even though I did get a 4.0 average in College, I learned much, much more from the books I have read. I have HUNDREDS of books right here in my home which have educated me far beyond any level that “Universities” could recognize. I also gained much insight by reading this and many other websites on the internet over the last 30 years.
