Bachelor's Degree or Higher (% of Over 25) by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Arkansas

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest concentrations of bachelor's degree holders cluster in the northwest corner of the state—corresponding to the Bentonville-Fayetteville-Rogers metro area—and in the central region around Little Rock, where several zip codes exceed 40-50% attainment. Rural areas across the southern half and the Mississippi Delta region along the eastern border consistently register among the lowest rates, often falling below 10%. This stark urban-rural divide reflects both the gravitational pull of the state's major employment centers (Walmart headquarters, the University of Arkansas, and state government) and persistent educational underinvestment in the Delta and Ouachita regions.
