Intelligence is measured in many different ways. When determining which cities in Nevada have the most intelligent residents, we gathered data from Find The Home to see what percentage of them have a bachelor’s degree or higher. We also used the data to find out the city’s public school rating.
Listed below are the 15 smartest cities (with a population of more than 2,500) in Nevada.
Note: This isn’t meant to sound like someone must have a college degree in order to be smart. That couldn’t be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, there are many intelligent people who never get the chance to attend college. Also, many people drop out simply because of boredom. Does the name “Bill Gates” ring a bell?
