The percentage of college-educated young adults is larger in Boston than anywhere else in America.

Nearly two-fifths of the 18-to-34-year-olds in the Boston metro area -- 39.2% -- hold bachelor's degrees, according to Business Journals' On Numbers.

So where does your city fit?

Here are the top 10 metro areas with the highest percentage of college-educated young people:

1. Boston

2. Washington

3. San Francisco

4. San Jose

5. Madison, Wis.

6. New York

7. Minneapolis-St.Paul

8. Norwalk, Conn.

9. Raleigh, N.C.

10. Des Moines

At the low end of the scale are three Sunbelt markets where less than one-tenth of all young adults are college-educated, On Numbers reports.

Bakersfield, Calif., and Lakeland, Fla., have the lowest rates, 9.1%, while Stockton, Calif., is marginally better at 9.3%.
