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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Higher concentrations of bachelor's degree attainment cluster in western Montana, particularly around the Flathead Valley, Missoula, and Bozeman areas, where several zip codes exceed 40–50% of residents holding a bachelor's degree or higher. Eastern Montana and tribal reservation areas, including parts of the Fort Peck and Crow reservations, consistently display lower attainment rates below 15%, creating a stark west-to-east educational gradient. University towns such as Bozeman and Missoula stand out as bright yellow hotspots, while isolated pockets of higher education levels also appear near Billings and along the Hi-Line corridor, likely tied to regional economic centers.
