U.S. States Ranked by Education and Political Affiliation

It should not be a surprise that people in republican states are more ignorant and less educated than the people in democrat states...


Interview with ChatGPT; Republican States have a lower education level than Democrat States. Only three republican states were in the top 25, there were only two democrat states below the top 25 states.


There are different ways to measure the level of education in a state, and different sources may give slightly different rankings.

It's worth noting that the percentage of residents with a bachelor's degree or higher is not the only measure of education or intellectual achievement, and that education levels can vary significantly within a state depending on factors like income, race, and geography. Dividing the 50 states by political affiliation can be a bit tricky, as states can have different political leanings in different elections or for different offices.


However, here is a rough breakdown based on the results of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election:

Republican-Leaning States (Trump won in 2020) and Their Educational Ranking:

Alabama - 48 Alaska - 27 Arkansas - 44 Idaho - 37 Indiana - 35 Iowa - 21 Kansas - 24 Kentucky - 43 Louisiana - 45 Mississippi - 47 Missouri - 32 Montana - 29

​Nebraska -23 North Dakota - 39 Ohio - 36 Oklahoma - 49 South Carolina - 42 South Dakota - 33 Tennessee - 38 Texas - 30 Utah - 11 West Virginia - 50 Wyoming - 41

Democratic-Leaning States (Biden won in 2020) and Their Educational Ranking:

​California - 15 Colorado - 02 Connecticut - 04 Delaware - 17 District of Columbia - 51 Hawaii - 19 Illinois - 14 Maine - 25 Maryland - 05 Massachusetts - 01 Michigan - 22 Minnesota - 10

​Nevada - 40 New Hampshire - 08 New Jersey - 09 New Mexico - 46 New York - 16 Oregon - 12 Pennsylvania - 20 Rhode Island - 13 Vermont - 03 Virginia - 06 Washington - 07 Wisconsin - 18

Swing states (where the election was close and could go either way) and their ranking seem to fall in the middle:

  • Arizona - 31

  • Florida - 34

  • Georgia - 28

  • North Carolina - 26

  • Pennsylvania - 20

  • Wisconsin - 18

Again, it's worth noting that political affiliation can vary depending on the specific election or issue, and that not all voters in a state may vote for the same party or candidate.
