Here is another great study I just read on Brookings Institution showing our city of Greater Washington, D.C. is the smartest city in the country. You may say that again! Washingtonians have something others do not: the best-educated population in the nation.
The study totally validates why I founded Awesome DC. Although, it compares DC with other cities in the country, as I pointed out in About section of our site, I am proud to say Washington, D.C. is the smartest city in the world from my own personal experience of having lived and worked in Asia, Middle East, Europe, and of course Awesome DC :-) Haven’t been in any of the South American or African Countries yet. Anyone?
Almost half of adult Washington area residents have college diplomas, and better than one-fifth have graduate or professional degrees. By either measure, the region has the most educated population of any large metropolitan center.

Washington is also a college town. We have 81 college students for every 1,000 residents, according to a 2009 study, a collegiate concentration comparable to that of Boston.
