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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Louisville metro area and a cluster around Lexington in central Kentucky display the highest concentrations of bachelor's degree attainment, with several zip codes exceeding 40–50%, while a notable corridor of elevated education levels extends northward toward the Cincinnati border region. Eastern Kentucky's Appalachian zip codes and much of the rural western and south-central portions of the state consistently fall below 15%, creating a stark urban-rural divide. Isolated pockets of higher attainment in otherwise low-education regions likely correspond to college towns such as Bowling Green, Murray, and Morehead.
