Yes, New England, You’re the Snobbiest Region in the Country

You know that New England constantly makes top ten lists for pretty much everything amazing. It's almost exhausting how incredible we are.

Whether it's food, tourist destinations, top places to live, or education, New England is truly the greatest part of the United States (along with NYC).

Oh look, my snobbery is showing and I'm okay with that. Or is it pride?

According to the Zippia website, every state in New England made this list of the top 10 snobbiest states.

So, what makes a state snobby, you ask? Zippia used these factors.

• Percent of Population with a Bachelor’s Degree
• Percent of Degree Earners with a Degree in Arts and Humanities
• Number of Ivy League Colleges
• Gallons of Wine Consumed Yearly

Higher education and wine have an air about them, so let's break it down even more. Here's each state in order of snobbiest in New England.
