These are degrees beyond bachelors level. So, 20% of Massachusetts residents have a masters or higher.

Are you counting international waters as a border? I would, since it’s technically a border to all countries with a coastline.

The only people I hear saying that are people who haven't stepped foot on one in 30 years.

General question: Do I understand this correctly that only ten to twenty percent of the population have a formal education beyond high school?

One reason I've heard and very much agree with is that going to college exposes you to a great variety of people of different races and backgrounds and experiences. Same with travel. And the more you get those shared human experiences, the more you can empathize with other people. The more you support social programs, etc.

Is it intelligence.. indoctrination.. debt..? What could it be!?
Also.. higher degree != intelligence.. it means money, correct circumstances, and time.
Edit: I have a masters and am working on my second.

I read the one above as individual private debt, not government municipal debt.

Hence the "generally" part of my answer.

That's a sick burn, but most of the politicians who promote this idea are well-educated. Perhaps they just see the benefit of demonizing free thought.

Everyone is being indoctrinated into something.
Edit: That is to say, everyone is conforming their mind to some external standard and calling it learning. Indoctrination used to have the connotation of simply learning, but now it means learning uncritically, accepting something without critical thought. Which side is teaching students to think critically, and which side is teaching students to accept a set of alternative facts that the fall apart under scrutiny?

I believe the answer to that is generally "people who didn't go to college/university".

I don't think he knows. If people with degrees voted dems, that would be a 1:1 ratio, instead it's 1:3 (5% more people with adv. degrees give 15 percent dem lead).

A couple of years ago, ISU changed to the common application. This made it easier for students to click a box and their app would be turned into ISU along with other schools. Previous to that, students needed to specifically find and fill out ISU's application. I wonder what span of time this data was taken from, and at what point we were in the common app process. Generally, numbers with the common app are higher but yield could be less stable.

Your implication is intelligence but the correct answer is shared political interests. It's because Republicans aren't interested in appealing to the college educated crowd anymore, which used to be a strong suit of theirs.

Reply to comment by NorthImpossible8906 in Election Results and Population Density - Engaging Data by innergamedude
Right and I'm just making the connection that this works because overall population of a country closely tracks with density anyway, so it's a slightly different observation of th same phenomenon.

Reply to comment by PixieBaronicsi in Erling Haaland's Record Goal-Scoring Pace - Follow up [OC] by adamjonah
Yeah the way I created the data I didn't extend every value to the end of the season, so basically there are no horizontal lines, if they don't score another goal the line just stops.

Italy and The Vatican are tied. This is unacceptable.
