Boston has a lot of students and the professors but DC does have a decent student population also. What DC has is more working intellectual people. So I say DC wins since so many of the people working from all age groups 20-80 have a great educational background.
I can't really see one having a big edge over another in any measure. They're very, very close in all of these categories.
On the categories he said, yes. But again, I'm not sure how much that really has to do with intellectualism. So ...Boston easy on the first question, and yes they are balanced on the other "gauges"...

That's true.

Yeah... intellectualism is more about academics, particularly the liberal arts/humanities/social sciences as well as your high culture sets and social critics. Not really science/engineering/medicine/professional degrees/etc. Boston, as well as NYC (just to throw it out there) both have a more profound intellectual scene than DC.

Huh?
DC has a lot to do with social sciences. Where do you think most think tanks are?
