However, there are significant regional differences in educational achievement in the United States. The stark differences between the most and least educated cities in each state are highlighted by a survey compiled by 24/7 Wall St. Florida's least educated city is about to be revealed.
How The Data Was Compiled
This analysis used data from the 2019 American Community Survey from the U.S. Census Bureau, which covered all cities, towns, villages, boroughs, and census-designated places with populations greater than 25,000. The lowest percentage of adults aged 25 and older who hold a bachelor's degree or above was used to rank cities.
The report also provided information on the percentages of adults with different levels of education, such as those with just a high school diploma, those with some college or an associate's degree, those with a bachelor's degree, and those with a graduate or professional degree. The survey also included the median incomes for each educational level and the unemployment rates for people aged 25 to 64.
Florida's least educated city is...
According to the report, is West Little River, a census-designated place in Miami-Dade County. Compared to the state average of 29.9%, only 10.7% of adults in West Little River had a bachelor's degree or above. This percentage is significantly lower than the 32.1% national average.
All things considered... it is still considered a Miami hidden gem:
In addition, West Little River had a high proportion of adults without a high school diploma, at 18.6%, over double the state average of 10.3%. The median income for this group was only $21,459 per year, which is significantly less than the $45,536 national median.
The research also showed that compared to the state norms of 28.8% and 11.4%, respectively, West Little River had lower percentages of adults with some college or an associate's degree (24.4%) and a graduate or professional degree (10.9%). These groups' median earnings were also lower than state and national medians.
The high unemployment rate in West Little River, which has averaged 6.4% over the past five years, may be related to the area's poor educational attainment. During the same time period, this rate was higher than both the state average (4.7%) and the national average (4.6%). A person's capacity to seek higher education or land a better-paying job might be greatly impacted by unemployment.
