Cities with most Engineers (and Architects) (home, university, calculation)

[bluebeard]

This was from a conversation in a state forum. I decided to do my own research using the American Community Survey, Averaged over 2005-2009. City-data has some of its own calculations, but I wanted to do my own to verify and they were often noted by gender.






Obs , Place, Population 16 YEARS AND OVER), Proportion of population over 16 in Engineering or Architecture
1 Twain CDP California 52 77%
2 Ronald CDP Washington 36 64%
3 Keeler CDP California 18 50%
4 La Feria North CDP Texas 14 50%
5 Shell Valley CDP North Dakota 142 47%
6 White Sands CDP New Mexico 230 38%
7 Dayton CDP Montana 44 34%
8 Hollenberg city Kansas 9 33%
9 Millican town Texas 9 33%
10 Grayson town Oklahoma 51 31%
11 Mohawk Vista CDP California 118 31%
12 Manville town Wyoming 23 30%
13 Keene CDP California 128 29%
14 Mosquito Lake CDP Alaska 98 24%
15 Donnybrook city North Dakota 49 24%
16 Symerton village Illinois 33 24%

Lots of engineers in these towns? I bet these towns have great parties.

What do engineers use for birth control?

Spoiler

Their personalities

When does a person decide to become an engineer?

Spoiler

When he realizes he doesn't have enough charisma to become an undertaker.

There's a city called California, PA too. In fact, it's home to California University of Pennsylvania. Not to be confused with Indiana University of Pennsylvania, located in -- you guessed it -- Indiana, PA.
