The US cities where the most educated millennials live by Leanna Garfield on Mar 5, 2018, 12:20 PM Advertisement
 Millennials are the most educated generation in American history. Today, over a third of Americans ages 25 to 34 have college degrees. But that figure can differ depending on location, A new Brookings Institution report aims to find the US cities with the most educated young people. Analyzing the 100 largest metros, the researchers found the locations with the highest percentages of millennial college graduates in 2015. In 12 cities, at least 45% of the millennial population has graduated from college. While these metros have a large percentage of millennial graduates, much of the US is a different story. In more than half of the metro areas, millennial college graduate percentages range between 30% to 45%. In 28 cities on the list, including Fresno, California and San Antonio, Texas, fewer than one in three millennials have college degrees. Other studies have suggested that American colleges may be struggling to attract students. According to a 2017 report from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, college-enrollment rates increased by just 1.9% from 2016. From 2012 to 2016, that rate had steadily decreased, despite the fact that more students are getting their high-school diplomas than ever before.
