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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The southern tier of New Hampshire, particularly zip codes in the Hanover-Lebanon corridor along the Connecticut River and affluent suburbs south of Manchester, exhibits the highest concentrations of bachelor's degree attainment, frequently exceeding 50%, likely reflecting the influence of Dartmouth College and proximity to Boston's labor market. The northern reaches of Coos County and parts of the White Mountains region display notably lower educational attainment, generally falling below 20%, consistent with the region's more rural, resource-based economy. A striking patchwork pattern emerges in the central and southern portions of the state, where high-attainment zip codes sit directly adjacent to areas with significantly lower rates, suggesting sharp socioeconomic divides even within short geographic distances.
