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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The western coastal communities and foothill areas near La Cañada Flintridge exhibit the highest concentrations of bachelor's degree attainment, frequently exceeding 50%, while a pronounced low-education corridor stretches from Downtown LA southeast through the industrial cities of Vernon, Bell, and South Gate, where rates often fall below 10-15%. Orange County presents a stark internal divide, with affluent southern communities like Irvine and Newport Beach area zip codes showing high attainment in yellow, contrasting sharply with the deep teal and purple of central Santa Ana and Garden Grove. The San Gabriel Valley displays a notable east-west gradient, with higher-educated zip codes clustered near Pasadena and declining steadily toward Pomona and the eastern metro fringe.
