Do cheap, educated people exist near where I work?

City, median home price, percent of population over 25 with at least a bachelors degree

Fontana, $191,000, 10.3%
Pomona, 212,000, 12.8
Ontario, 217,000, 10.5
South San Jose Hills, 224,000, 8.0
Baldwin Park, 252,000, 9
Azuza, 262,000, 14.2
Pico Rivera, 280,000, 7.1
Chino, 285,000, 13
El Monte, 295,000, 7.1
Rancho Cucamonga, 297,000, 23.3
Corona, 316,000, 22
Covina, 323,000, 18.8
West Covina, 345,000, 21.9
Anaheim, 350,000, 19.6
Upland, 368,700, 26.7
Rosemead, 369,000, 12.9
Glendora, 372,000, 25.7
San Dimas, 384,000, 28.4
Fullerton, 409,000, 31.3
Orange, 412,000, 28
Rowland Heights, 413,000, 33.3
Alhambra, 423,000, 27.5
Hacienda Heights, 433,000, 30.7
Chino Hills, 438,000, 37.6
Diamond Bar, 441,000, 42.3
Placentia, 446,000, 31.3
Brea, 451,000, 33.5
Claremont, 464,000, 52.4
San Gabriel, 497,000, 24.6
Pasadena, 506,000, 41,3
Walnut, 532,000, 41.9
Yorba Linda, 574,000, 41.5

It is pretty impressive how few reasonably priced, well educated, areas there are. Corona, Rancho Cuchamonga and West Covina seem like the areas which do best in this respect. Fullerton and Diamond bar hold up fairly well too as being more educated than similarly priced regions. I am not sure I believe the education numbers for Rosemead. They might be out of date, it certainly did seem like an area that was doing alright. Maybe I am just falling for a stereotype though and that is where the uneducated Asians live.
