With all the lists that Charlottesville* gets put on, I think I like this one the most. (Thanks to the anonymous reader for pointing this out to me!)

We’re #9, in fact.

The Atlantic notes: (bolding mine)

Last Friday, my list of America’s Brainiest Cities ran over at The Daily Beast. Boulder topped the list, which comprised a mix of larger knowledge-intensive metros like Washington, D.C., Boston, Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Austin, and Seattle, and college towns like Ithaca, Charlottesville, Madison, Iowa City, and Durham, North Carolina, among others.

* “Charlottesville” may mean “Charlottesville, Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene” but in this case may in fact mean “The City of Charlottesville.”
