This study from Central Connecticut State University is conducted to try and assess the literacy of its major cities (population of 250,000 and above). The study ranks cities based on: booksellers, educational attainment, Internet resources, library resources, newspaper circulation, and periodical publishing resources. The information is compared against population rates in each city to develop a per capita profile of the city's literacy, although the complexity of the different variables means it's not necessarily conclusive. The study was last conducted in 2018
