^ Could you cite a source? Also Miami might be higher since a lot of the city's Immigrants do hold degrees from their former countries but aren't counted.
Interesting. I immediately see a difference between sunbelt cities and East Coast/Midwest/PNW cities. I see some exceptions such as Atlanta and Charlotte and conversely Detroit and Cleveland. I venture to guess the educated millennials of the sunbelt tend to live in suburbs mostly.

I think Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas and Miami have larger Latino immigrant populations that drag their percentages way down.
wow...stunning....are you even listening to what you are saying?
My statement was accurate. Hispanics are 48.9% of Los Angeles' population but only 9.8% of that group has earned a college degree. That's why the percentage is so much lower for Los Angeles and other Sunbelt cities with large immigrant populations. I'm not exactly sure what's so controversial about saying that.
