EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT <br />Frequently, education is used as a proxy for gentrification, that is, the upgrading of properties <br />to the exclusion of low income persons. Table 8 contains the data for educational attainment <br />for the subject cities and counties. <br />The data are for 1990 only. They show an inverse relationship between the educational <br />attainment level between each city and Its county, In both cases, as the attainment level <br />increases for the cities, it declines in the counties. <br />,TABLE t3 <br />EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT <br />Berkeley vs. Alameda County <br />Santa Monica vs. Las Angeles County <br />1990 <br />Income Group <br />Berkeley <br />(k) <br />Alameda <br />County <br />Santa <br />Monica <br />Las Angeles <br />County <br />Less than 9th grade <br />4.11% <br />7.38% <br />5.51% <br />15;58% <br />9th to 12th grade, <br />no diploma <br />5,57 <br />11A6 <br />7,00 <br />14.39 <br />High school graduate <br />(includes equivalency) <br />9.86 <br />22,76 <br />15.96 <br />20,70 <br />Bachelor's degree <br />26,22 <br />17.90 <br />24.78 <br />14.48 <br />Graduate or <br />professional degree <br />30,45 <br />10.91 <br />18.60 <br />7;84 <br />Source:. 1930 U.$, Census, Table.
