A study by Central Connecticut State University ranks certain American cities (population of 250k and above) in literacy. It uses "six key indicators of literacy: newspaper circulation, number of bookstores, library resources, periodical publishing resources, educational attainment, and Internet resources."
From the overall rankings - Washington D.C. is # 1 which might say more about the survey than literacy. Seattle is #2 and Portland comes in at 11. And, Washington and Seattle have been the top 2 for the past three years, and Portland had its best year in 2009 when it was 6th.
