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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Detroit metropolitan area's suburban zip codes—particularly in Oakland County communities like Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and Troy—display the highest concentrations of bachelor's degree attainment, with many zip codes exceeding 50%, while adjacent urban zip codes in Detroit proper drop sharply to under 15%. The Ann Arbor and East Lansing areas stand out as bright clusters in the southern Lower Peninsula, reflecting the influence of the University of Michigan and Michigan State University. Rural zip codes across the Upper Peninsula and northern Lower Peninsula generally fall in the 10–20% range, with scattered exceptions near Traverse City and Marquette where regional economic and educational anchors elevate attainment levels.
