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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Omaha metropolitan area in the eastern part of the state contains the most prominent cluster of high bachelor's degree attainment, with several zip codes exceeding 50%, while Lincoln also displays pockets of elevated educational attainment in the 40–50% range. Rural western and central Nebraska zip codes generally fall in the 10–20% range, with scattered exceptions near regional centers like North Platte, Kearney, and a notably high-attainment zip code in the north-central region likely corresponding to a college town. The southwestern panhandle and south-central regions exhibit some of the lowest rates statewide, frequently dropping below 10%, creating a stark urban-rural educational divide across the state.
