Hey, we're smart!

I love pouring over demographics in some effort to decipher a community's personality. Though a higher education degree doesn't guarantee one has any common sense, it's some kind of a start.

According to stats at point2.com the 89523 ZIP code, aka Northwest Reno, has what appears to be a large number of adults with bachelor's degrees and higher.

Take a gander at the sampling below:

Number of people who have achieved the following levels of education:
No High School - 310
Some High School - 670
Some College - 3908
Associate Degree - 1669
Bachelors Degree - 5475
Graduate Degree - 2551

If I were guessing (a dangerous game, I know) I'd assume two factors send this number upward: the neighborhood's proximity to the University of Nevada, and all those doctors and lawyers living out in Somersett. And, oh yeah, my one miserable year of law school. Still can't shake those nightmares about contracts exams.
