Data Snapshot: College (not) try

The west coast of Florida, when it comes to being home to millennials with a college degree, gets a D grade — at best.

Three areas are among the Top 10 in having the lowest percent of college graduates among people ages 25-34, according to a new report from the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution. The nonprofit public policy organization analyzed the top 100 Metropolitan Statistical Areas for its report.

The Lakeland MSA, with 19.5% of millennials with a college degree, has the sixth-worst rate in the country, the report shows. Cape Coral-Fort Myers, at 19.9% is No. 7 nationwide. And the North Port-Sarasota-Bradenton region, at 23.6%, is No. 9 in the country, right ahead of Spokane, Wash.
