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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Twin Cities metropolitan area stands out as the dominant cluster of high bachelor's degree attainment, with numerous zip codes in the south-central metro reaching above 50%, while surrounding suburban and exurban areas generally maintain rates of 30–45%. Rural zip codes across western, southern, and north-central Minnesota largely fall below 20%, with particularly low attainment concentrated in pockets of the northwest and south-central agricultural regions. Notable exceptions to the rural pattern include college towns and the Duluth area along the northeastern shore, where rates climb to 30–40%, reflecting the influence of higher education institutions on local demographics.
