College graduate percentages in 70 cities with populations of 250,000

The Seattle Times reports on cities with populations over 250,000 and the percentage who have college degrees.Seattle,San Francisco,Raleigh,Washington D.C.,Austin,and Atlanta lead the pack.Here's what Ned Hill says about the data:

"The largest predictor of economic well-being in cities is the percent of college graduates."

That's rather interesting because since the last census San Francisco has lost population.While Seattle and San Francisco are one of the few places in America that have more dogs than children.So,we have to ask do the leading college degreed cities like dogs more than children?
