Now it's time to feel better about ourselves by calling other people dumb! An economist named Rob Pitingolo put together this list of the 52 largest cities in the U.S., ranking them from SMARTEST to DUMBEST.
-It's not a perfect list . . . he didn't go around and actually give I.Q. tests to people in these cities . . . it's entirely based on the number of people with college degrees per square mile in each of the cities.
The smartest city turned out to be San Francisco, with 7,031 bachelor degrees and graduate degrees per square mile.
The rest of the top 10 smartest cities are: New York City . . . Boston . . . Washington, D.C. . . . Seattle . . . Chicago . . . Minneapolis . . . Providence, Rhode Island . . . Philadelphia . . . and Miami.
And the "winner" for dumbest city is . . . Oklahoma City, with 159 degrees per square mile.
The rest of the bottom 10 are: Jacksonville, Florida . . . Birmingham, Alabama . . . Louisville, Kentucky . . . Nashville, Tennessee . . . New Orleans . . . Kansas City, Missouri . . . Memphis . . . Virginia Beach . . . and Indianapolis.
