Reading, writing, and arithmetic

Central Connecticut State University has released its annual list of America’s Most Literate Cities. The study judges literacy by analyzing newspaper circulation, the number of bookstores, library resources, periodical publishing resources, educational attainment, and Internet resources.

This year’s top 10 are:

Minneapolis, MN
Seattle, WA
St. Paul, MN
Denver, CO
Washington, DC
St. Louis, MO
San Francisco, CA
Atlanta, GA
Pittsburgh, PA
Boston, MA

So we now know that Minneapolis is #1 in literacy, and Salt Lake City is #1 in DVD purchasing.

But I’m still don’t plan on moving to either zip code.
