Smartest States, 2012
Updated February 21, 2017 | Factmonster Staff 
Using U.S. Census Data, the Kauffman Foundation created a weighted score reflecting four different education-level statistics for each state: the percentage of the population (age 25 and older) that has less than a high-school degree, some college, a Bachelor's degree, or a Master's or professional degree. The organization's state-by-state rankings reflect those weighted scores.
| Rank | State |
|---|---|
| 1. | Massachusetts |
| 2. | Delaware |
| 3. | Washington |
| 4. | California |
| 5. | Maryland |
| 6. | Virginia |
| 7. | Colorado |
| 8. | Utah |
| 9. | Connecticut |
| 10. | New Jersey |
