How it works

How this ranking works

The ND list, with the map →

We rank every town by the share of adults 25 and older with a bachelor's degree or higher. The town with the highest figure ranks #1. For comparison, the figure for North Dakota as a whole is 32.7%.

Only towns with at least 2,500 residents are ranked; Census estimates for smaller places are too uncertain. Population and income: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates. Town photos: Wikimedia Commons, credited on each town’s page.
