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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The western and southwestern suburbs—particularly Eden Prairie, Maple Grove, Plymouth, and Woodbury—exhibit the highest concentrations of bachelor's degree attainment, consistently exceeding 50%, while a distinct corridor of lower educational attainment (below 20%) runs through Brooklyn Park and portions of north Minneapolis into the St. Paul urban core. The contrast is especially stark between adjacent zip codes near downtown Minneapolis, where highly educated neighborhoods sit immediately next to areas with some of the metro's lowest rates, suggesting sharp socioeconomic boundaries at the zip code level. Southern suburbs like Eagan and Bloomington display moderate-to-high attainment in the 30–50% range, serving as a transitional zone between the affluent western suburbs and the more mixed eastern portions of the metro.
