Oklahoma only has 1 county lit up, and it’s where a state university is, OSU. But it’s ranked lower nationally than OU (#196 vs #132). Both are in otherwise small towns, basically overrun by their respective colleges. Anecdotally, Norman (OU) is known to have nothing in town, but Stillwater (OSU) has it’s own subculture and town pride.
I’m curious how many of these counties just contain college towns vs how many actually might attract highly educated people.

Norman is effectively a suburb of OKC. Also it’s by county so all the stuff actually closer to OKC will out weigh the college town there.
It does appear to be mostly college towns and some high education cities though
