If you check previous years, you see that San Francisco has been moving up the list. I wonder why.
The website says that the "...study focuses on six key indicators of literacy: newspaper circulation, number of bookstores, library resources, periodical publishing resources, educational attainment, and Internet resources. I wonder if one particular indicator is boosting S.F.'s literacy or if it's a combination of factors.
