Lumpyoatmeal saidKind of a weird list. I only skimmed the article. I'm surprised that there weren't more less literate cities in, for example, Mississippi. Maybe the stats were more readily available for the cities that made their list.
Chula Vista was a weird entry; it's way down at the southernmost end of California, just above the Mexican border. Very high Latin/Hispanic percentage. Similarly for Santa Ana; very high Latin population. Likewise for the other low literacy cities in California.
As usual, I blame it all on television. It's like all of the animated gifs in the WOYM thread; visual stimuli are more gratifying and meaningful than words.

Some us try to use words to write stimulating posts... But you have us ignore, and you post porn pics, instead. It's kinda your loss, man.
(Not that you'll see this.)

Well, the problem is "literacy" is equated with "intelligence." As someone who is more visually oriented, I think the equation is chauvinistic.
Import saidDC is most literate?
Why, I'm surprised Miami/Fort Lauderdale didn't take the top spot.
jk.

Well, if you don't want to read my posts, I do provide adult pics... I'm just trying to include everyone.

I wouldn't say equated with but that people who are more literate are more likely to be more intelligent.

Don't want to argue. I think you understand my point even if it isn't literally true.
