<h2>These Are The 10 Smartest Cities In Arizona</h2>
We used data and science to determine the brainiacs around <a ltype="auto" href="https://www.zippia.com/arizona-jobs/">Arizona</a>.
One of the many qualities that people look for in a potential location or company is the intelligence of those around them. This factor can play a huge role in one's experience at a particular company and can make or break an employee's time there.
So finding a city with an intelligent population makes sense for both companies and employees. That's where <a ltype="auto" href="https://www.zippia.com">Zippia</a> comes in; to help you identify those places in Arizona that might have skipped a grade... or two.
You may be wondering, "How does one determine how intelligent a town really is?"
Well we went to the source of all things demographic data - the census - to figure out what criteria about a place would identify it is a smart cookie.
We set upon the percentage of adults (over 25) with at least a college degree and the percentage of high school dropouts (aged 15-17) for the 44 largest cities in Arizona with data. We then crunched the numbers and were left with this set of the brightest cities in the Grand Canyon State:

<h2>How we determined the smartest places in the Grand Canyon State?</h2>
Before we could dive into the potential IQs of various places in Arizona, we needed to know which places to look at in the first place. We settled upon any place with over 10,000 people and data available for every criteria.
This left us with 44 places in Arizona.
We then looked at the following criteria to determine the cream from the crop when it comes to smarts:
<ul>
<li>Percentage of adults with at least a college education (Higher is smarter)</li>
<li>Percentage of teenagers that are high school dropouts (Lower is smarter)</li>
</ul>
Our data comes directly from the latest American Community Survey from the Census.
We thought this criteria was representative of the current state of smarts with the potential for a place to improve the education levels of the next generation. And, for reference, only about 30% of Americans over 25 have graduated from college.
In order to determine the smartest, we ranked all the cities for each criteria from one to 44 with one being the "smartest" in any category.
We took the average rank across the criteria, with the place posting the highest overall score being given the diploma for "Smartest City In Arizona".
If your city or town isn't among the top 10, jump down to the bottom of the post to see a detailed chart. Otherwise, learn more about how the top ten cities achieved their potential.
