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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The northwest suburbs, particularly around Farmington Hills and extending into Oakland County, exhibit the highest concentrations of bachelor's degree attainment, with many zip codes exceeding 50%, while central Detroit and its immediately surrounding zip codes fall sharply to under 15%. A notable education gradient radiates outward from Detroit's core, with Macomb County communities like Sterling Heights and St. Clair Shores occupying a middle band of roughly 25–35%, and the southern downriver communities near Taylor showing more mixed attainment levels that generally trail the affluent northwestern suburbs.
