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.
