RE: The 10 most and least educated cities in the United States - burbuja0512 - 02-25-2019
I live in Vermillion South Dakota - all we have in my town is a few restaurants, a couple of dive bars, and the University of South Dakota. Literally everyone I meet is a professor. I'm pretty sure we weren't included because the population of 10 thousand is half college students. But I have truly never lived anywhere else where discussing master's degrees is part of a get-to-know-you conversation.

It's also fine for well-off retirees. Even though the population has been growing fast, the city has been losing children. The local NPR station said that AISD lost 7,000 students. Families are moving to the suburbs where it's cheaper to buy a house.
For the Army Austin is the best bet of the top 10. A few of the top ten would be a joke for the Army to even go to. Easy selection if you ask me.
For future Snowbirds like me, it's the same. Only 4 are warm weather locations and only Texas (Austin) is pro-retirees.

That tells me affluent folks are moving there (i.e., fewer kids) and retirees? I myself would also live in a smaller suburb if I snowbird there (6 months and one day for tax reasons).
