Boston is like 20% Black, and an additional 20% Hispanic. There's a VERY noticeable West Indian Community, and a pretty large Hispanic community in Boston. Than there's a sizable Asian community as well. Can't forget the Portuguese community.
Lol....you sound so ignorant. It's actually the people from outside of DC that create the debt and make stupid decisions. All the people the rest of you vote into power in your states. The people in DC are busy running everything that goes on in the country like education, healthcare, financial stability, defense, and when it comes to tech, we're busy trying to protect the rest of you from yourselves with cyber security. Get out of here with that mess. This is the most diverse educational epicenter in this country. We do everything known to man from a research standpoint.
You're delusional. I worked in Arlington, Va and most of DC is govt money attracting mostly useless spending with a rare occasion creating something useful. Busy running everything....lol
I'll give you that the rest of the country elects the gang that is putting us in debt.
This method of ranking "brainpower" is debatable because I've known some uneducated geniuses and some Phd idiots. Still interesting data. I would put Washington much lower (below McAllen) as all they do is administer the government and spend the rest of the country into bankruptcy. I would move San Jose into the top spot....they're building the world's technology.

The only real big money in DC metro tied to govt. is defense industry in northern VA. So I would call it defending the country.

I think you're right on those points -- the Boston area is more diverse that many people recognize, and there has been a historic emphasis on education in the state (think Puritans); but more than that I think this ranking comes down to economic base. Boston/Mass. historically created a pretty robust high-tech/knowledge economy pretty quickly compared to rest of the country, and the education levels there reflect that.
The situation is very similar for the San Francisco/Bay Area and the Research Triangle of NC.
Also arguably the greatest concentration of renowned colleges and universities on the planet. And higher education is becoming bigger and bigger business so more and more people are part of that community.
**And Boston is a majority-minority city, to address other people's comments.**
