The 20 Most Literate Cities in America, 2017
Washington D.C. has been named the “Most Literate City” in the United States, according to the most recent study conducted by Central Connecticut State University. It is followed by Seattle, Minneapolis, Atlanta, and San Francisco.
Rounding out the top ten were Pittsburgh, Portland, Cincinnati, St. Paul (Minnesota), and Boston.
The study, which ranks the reading habits and resources of the America’s 82 largest cities (population 250,000 and above), is based on six criteria: number of local bookstores, library resources, newspaper circulation in the city, periodical publishing resources, use of online resources, and residents’ education levels.
“The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.” – ― Mark Twain
