Pittsburgh has a higher percentage of 25- to 34-year-olds with graduate/professional degrees than San Jose.

We rank 3rd in the country with only Boston and DC being higher. That is mind blowing.

Surprising, yet not. It took 30 years to get to this point. The universities, corporate and foundations started the push in the 1980s during the depths of the heavy manufacturing de-industrialization, much like the Allegheny Conference did after World War II. They saw the problem and started to chart a course to re-invent the economy. Happily, the results started to be seen within this last decade, as more young people came or stayed than left. It's pretty evident in many parts of the city now - I often ask myself, "where did all these young people come from?" It took a lot of effort and a lot of planning.

Sometimes young people come from effort and planning. Sometimes from Jim Beam and not planning.

Cleveland and Nashville.

Tip of the hat to Cleveland, though, for ranking in the top 10. Also good to see Philadelphia in the same ballpark as Chicago and Seattle. I'm shocked at how low Austin, Denver, Columbus, Portland, Minneapolis/St. Paul and Cincinnati are. I'm also surprised at how high Baltimore, San Diego, Indianapolis, Detroit and Jacksonville are.

Metros with a lot of immigrants will, all things considered, tend to have a lower proportion of young adults with graduate degrees when compared to those with a smaller immigrant population.
