Are you looking down your nose at the rest of the country? See which city thinks pretty highly of itself.

Are Atlanta’s residents snobs? Are they so convinced of their place in the pecking order that being called snobs doesn’t phase them as they head to dinner at a bistro after checking out an exhibit at a local art gallery?

The folks at Movoto Real Estate blog have compiled a list of the top places for the snootiest folks in the country. San Francisco came out on top, but Atlanta ranked No. 10.

β€œIf you don’t live in Atlanta and your knowledge of the city is based on shows like β€˜Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ this may come as something of a surprise to you. But for residents, this is probably old news. That’s because this snob capital of the South is not only filled with highly educated individuals (46.22 percent of the population have college degrees), but also with culture. It had the fourth most art galleries per capita in the country, and in fact, has the most theatres per capita in America.”

1. San Francisco, CA
2. Washington, D.C.
3. Seattle, WA
