The average age in San Francisco is like 63 (ok 39) and unlike cities like Philly/NYC there are no children so when you add in the wealth factor, of course it will be more educated on a per-capita basis than formerly huge industrial cities.
I don't even think there are 100,000 people in San Francisco under 18, but according to the national under 18 metrics you used over 200,000 are being discounted.

SFO is just another American city full of stereotypical hipsters and obnoxious people who cannot shut up about being vegan, feminists, liberals etc. etc.
NYC on the other hand is cosmopolitan and worldly which SFO is not!
Still, I don't think rates tell the whole story when we are comparing cities with a difference in population of over 10-fold or 8 Million people.
It'd be like comparing San Francisco to Princeton, NJ which has a median household income of over $98,000 and a bachelor degree rate of 72%.
I'm not sure if he understands this is a prime example where his stat/percentages are useless and raw numbers still prove more people in NY has a bachelor degree or higher.
35% of 8 Million is still WAY MORE than 53% of 800,000. He's a mess.

Wonderful switch among proportions, percentages, and absolute numbers for whenever the argument suits you. Really good obfuscation here.
LoL @ 18Montclair. Once in a blue moon he'll post useful stats or say something that means something. But quite candidly here, in C-D terms he does A LOT more damage to SF's credibility than he does help it. The last 3-4 pages demonstrate that.

Nothing changes when I compare NYC to the Bay Area CSA(Pop 8.469 Million) or the SF-Oakland Urban Area(3.411 Million)
And the SF Urban Area is not a bad boroughized version of SF for comparative purposes to NYC because it excludes Marin County and the outer East Bay. It's just The City, San Mateo County bayshore and 510 area code.

SF's "credibility"? WHO THE EFF gives a flying EFF what these people deem to be "credible"?
This is a versus thread and has nothing to do with finding consensus and seeking approval.

Actually I was responding to a post where the person posted the total number so yeah...but I am a relentless litigator tho, when I need to be.

NYC has more of everything, that's it.
And that's one of it's biggest minuses.
1.4 Million poor people and 3.7 Million uneducated adults in 304 sq miles is not my cup 'a tea. Thanks but no thanks.
