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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Northern Delaware zip codes, particularly in the Wilmington suburbs and Brandywine Valley area, exhibit the highest concentrations of bachelor's degree attainment, with several zip codes exceeding 50%, likely corresponding to affluent communities such as Greenville and Hockessin. A stark contrast emerges in parts of downtown Wilmington and several central Kent County zip codes, where attainment drops below 10-15%, creating distinct pockets of lower educational attainment. Southern Sussex County presents a mixed pattern, with coastal resort communities near Rehoboth and Bethany Beach showing notably higher rates than the surrounding rural interior zip codes.
