Boston was named one of the most educated metros in the United States, according to a new study from WalletHub.

The finance site compared the 150 largest metro areas in the country using data from the U.S. Census Bureau and other sources. Boston scored high in almost every education attainment category, ranking sixth for percentage of bachelor’s degree holders and tying several other metros for highest percentage of graduate degree holders.

Considering Boston’s world-class educational institutions and investment in higher education and research, these findings come as no surprise.

“Higher education doesn’t guarantee better financial opportunities in the future, but it certainly correlates with it,” said WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo. “The most educated cities provide good learning opportunities from childhood all the way through the graduate level. In addition to overall education, it’s also important to look at how well cities promote educational equality when it comes to race and gender.”
