West Hartford Is No. 1 In CT For 'Most Educated Community'

Town officials shared the good news Tuesday morning.

WEST HARTFORD, CT – The Town of West Hartford today announced that it is the recipient of an Insurify Most Educated Cities Award. West Hartford ranked tops in Connecticut. Award winners were determined by an analysis of the educational achievement of individuals across the United States.

To determine the most educated community in each state, Insurify analyzed over 1.4 million auto insurance applications that indicated the age and education history of each applicant. Within the data set, each individual was assigned a score based on educational attainment and, for current students, grade point average (GPA). The results were then grouped by city, and the highest scoring communities in each state were identified.

“Across America, educational success is a vital factor in determining the advancement of a local economy,” said Snejina Zacharia, CEO of Insurify in a statement. “These awards recognize the communities in each state whose residents demonstrate an unmatched commitment to their education.”
