Map of every state's most educated town suggests North Dakota has some work to do.

The American Community Survey (ACS) is the U.S. Census Bureau's annual analysis of the country's demographics, performed during the intervening years of the once-a-decade official census.

Using the information gathered by the ACS for towns with at least 1,000 people, Business Insider crunched the numbers and created a map documenting the one town in each state with the highest rate of college graduates over the age of 25.

Chevy Chase, MD, leads the way with 92.7% of all adults holding at least a bachelor's degree, followed by a who's who of obscure America, including Ladera, CA (89.3%), Winnetka, IL (88.4%), and Mission Hills, KS (88.1%).

Only three states failed to produce at least one town with 50% of its citizens as college graduates--specifically, those three states maxed out in the form of Incline Village, NV (47.6%), Wayne, NE (44.4%), and Fargo, ND (39.0%).

Fargo.

Best known for a movie where a man is fed into a woodchipper.

That explains everything.
