Lafayette has around 29,000 residents. Its schools rate a median of 7 out of 10 and it actually hosts one of the nation's top 50 high schools in Peak to Peak Charter School (K-12).
 
The national average of adults with a college or advanced degree is 22%, but Lafayette is at 56%, more than twice the national average.
