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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Portland metropolitan area and its western suburbs display the highest concentrations of bachelor's degree attainment, with several zip codes exceeding 50%, while the Corvallis and Eugene areas in the Willamette Valley also form notable clusters of elevated educational attainment likely driven by the presence of Oregon State University and the University of Oregon. Rural eastern and southern Oregon zip codes generally fall below 20%, with particularly low rates in parts of the southeast and along the southern border, though the Bend area in central Oregon stands out as an exception with moderately high attainment levels. Coastal zip codes and timber-dependent communities in southwestern Oregon consistently register among the lowest rates statewide, often below 15%.
