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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest concentrations of bachelor's degree holders cluster along the Eastside corridor—particularly in Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond zip codes—as well as in north Seattle, where rates consistently exceed 50%. A stark educational attainment gradient emerges moving southward, with zip codes around Tacoma, Lakewood, and south King County (near Kent and Renton) dropping to 10–20%, reflecting well-documented socioeconomic divides along the I-5 corridor. The western portions of the metro area, including parts of the Kitsap Peninsula, also show notably lower attainment rates in the 5–15% range, contrasting sharply with the affluent suburban east.
