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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in the southern coastal areas and portions of the East Bay corridor display the highest concentrations of bachelor's degree attainment, frequently exceeding 45–55%, while urban core areas around Providence and the Blackstone Valley in the northeast show markedly lower rates, often falling below 20%. The western rural interior of the state clusters in a moderate range of roughly 25–35%, creating a clear gradient between the affluent suburban and coastal communities and the denser, lower-income urban centers. Block Island, visible at the bottom of the map, stands out with relatively high educational attainment consistent with its demographic profile as a seasonal and affluent community.
