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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Baton Rouge and New Orleans metropolitan areas stand out as clear education hotspots, with several zip codes in those regions reaching above 50% bachelor's degree attainment, likely corresponding to affluent suburban communities and university-adjacent neighborhoods. A notable northwest cluster around the Shreveport-Bossier City area also shows elevated attainment in the 20–35% range, contrasting sharply with surrounding rural zip codes in the Delta region and north-central Louisiana that largely fall below 10%. The southern and southwestern portions of the state, including much of Cajun Country and the rural Gulf Coast parishes, predominantly display low attainment rates in the 5–15% range, with isolated pockets of higher education levels near Lafayette and Lake Charles.
