Las Vegas Ranked Nation’s Dumbest City

The news and commentary website the Daily Beast has named Las Vegas the dumbest city in the nation based on the population’s education and intellectual interests—or lack thereof.

The site evaluated the 55 largest cities in the U.S. and looked at such criteria as nonfiction book sales, libraries per capita, and the percentage of adult residents with bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

Bostonians ranked best on the Daily Beast’s list, with an index of 176.7. That compares with 3.3 for Las Vegans.
