The Twin Cities is among “America’s Most Literate Cities,” a just-out report for 2012 shows.
Once again, Minneapolis came in third place while St. Paul was sixth, according to
MPR.
The annual report from Central Connecticut State University looks at the number of bookstores, educational achievement, Internet and library resources, the publishing business, and newspaper circulation to rank cities.
Dr. John Miller, who led the study, is quoted in the story, saying that the marks are “a large-scale portrait of our nation's cultural vitality. From this data we can better perceive the extent and quality of the long-term literacy essential to individual economic success, civic participation, and the quality of life in a community and a nation."”
