Report: Jacksonville among least literate cities

Jacksonville ranks among the least literate cities in the U.S., according to a study released this week by Central Connecticut State University.

The report scored cities of 250,000 people or more against several indicators, including education level, Internet use, newspaper circulation, number of booksellers, library services and local publications.

Jacksonville ranked 55 out of the 75 U.S. cities surveyed. Two other Florida cities appeared in the rankings. Tampa was tied for 20th, up from 29th a year earlier. Miami tied for 33rd, the same rank as 2008.
