Austin is one of the most educated cities in the country, according to a recent study done by WalletHub.

The personal finance website analyzed 150 of the most populated cities in America and scored them using metrics such as educational attainment, quality of education and attainment gap. Points were based on areas where adults had at least a diploma or higher, a good quality of education for students and a low educational gap between race or gender.

The Austin-Round Rock metro area ranked No. 16 in educational attainment and second in quality of its education and attainment gap. Overall, Austin ranked ninth out of the 150 cities.

Austin-Round Rock was ranked highest in the state of Texas, with the Dallas-Fort Worth area being the next closest ranking at 71st.

According to the report, the most educated area in America is Ann Arbor, Mich., which ranked first in education attainment and fifth in quality of education and attainment gap.

A skilled and educated workforce significantly boosts a city's economic growth, and that having a highly educated population is a good way of attracting other workers with degrees, according to WalletHub.
