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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Oklahoma City metro area and Tulsa metro area stand out as the primary clusters of high bachelor's degree attainment, with several zip codes in their suburban cores—particularly north Oklahoma City, Edmond, and south Tulsa—reaching above 50%, while surrounding rural zip codes frequently fall below 15%. The northwest panhandle region displays a notable pocket of relatively higher educational attainment compared to the predominantly low-attainment rural areas across southeastern Oklahoma, which consistently registers among the state's lowest percentages. A clear urban-rural divide persists statewide, with university towns like Stillwater and Norman creating small but distinct bright spots amid broader stretches of lower degree completion.
