Yes, but still the 10.7% of Masters, Professional and Doctors degrees in New Orleans versus the 8.9% National Average is a surprise to say theleast.

Detroit, e.g., has a 4.2% figure versus 10.7% for New Orleans.

i think that happens when you have numerous colleges in a city.

but trust me, as a grad student in history, some advanced degress are less economically useful to a community....hehe

True.

This is maybe to be expected due to the apparently large rich/white population in NO.

Its got an aspect of a "BoBo" town, being "cool", and it is also a university town.

Its also still got its traditional upper class still living in the city, like New York and San Francisco.

In other cities these people would all have found a tony suburb.
