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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The western and central portions of the Austin metro, stretching from Cedar Park through the core of Austin, consistently exhibit the highest bachelor's degree attainment rates, with many zip codes exceeding 50%, while the eastern periphery—particularly east of Pflugerville and in the far southeastern reaches—drops sharply to below 20%. Georgetown and Round Rock occupy a middle tier around 30–40%, forming a transitional band between the highly educated western/central corridor and the lower-attainment eastern fringe. This pronounced east-west educational divide mirrors well-documented socioeconomic disparities across the metro and has implications for workforce development targeting and site selection analyses.
