Most Literate: 5th
Who says: Central Connecticut State University

In attempts to measure the nation’s social health, Central Connecticut State University compared newspaper circulation, number of bookstores, library resources, and other “indicators of literacy” to gauge how well the country reads.
Boston jumped seven spots to fifth from last year’s 12th, ousting Pittsburgh (2011: 6th). The top four spots—Washington, D.C., Seattle, Minneapolis, and Atlanta—remained unchanged.
