To be fair, these sorts of stats can be said for many college towns.
I don't know the separation of Bachelor's and Graduate+ degrees but, according to the Census website, the breakdown for Chapel Hill, NC is as follows:
High school or higher: 94.7%
Bachelor's degree or higher: 73.9%
Even some non-university towns in NC's Research Triangle can hold their own:
Cary, NC
High school or higher: 95.2%
Bachelor's degree or higher: 62.2%
Apex, NC
High school or higher: 96.9%
Bachelor's degree or higher: 61.8%

This is true, but a large number of "college towns" are limited to the local University. Places like Chapel Hill don't have a major economic presence outside of UNC. Oftentimes, the population is very highly educated because they work at, or are somehow associated with, the university. As I showed in my previous post, while Cambridge certainly has this, the effect goes far beyond the Harvard & MIT campuses.
Pharma does not truly equal Bio but Cambridge has become quite the research center. Not as much commercially - that would be Philly to NYC where there still remains a large majority of commercial operitions even for the Biologic products - marketing, sales etc.

Yea, it seems Cambridge has become Ground Zero for private & public medical research, even if the majority of other operations of Bio/Pharma companies are taking place elsewhere.
