Men's Health uses SimplyMap to Rank Most Educated Cities
Men's Health magazine has once again published rankings that include research from SimplyMap. They ranked the most (and least) educated cities in America. In addition to several other sources of data, Men's Health editors tapped SimplyMap to find out how many households have student loans or take adult-education courses. Hint: the folks in Plano, TX were quite a bit happier than those in Providence, RI!
Also ranked are the 50 most radioactive cities in America. Researchers used SimplyMap in this case to analyze people's exposure to x-rays. That data, plus several other data points collected from various sources led editors to declare Jacksonville, FL as America's most radioactive city.
