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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in the Sioux Falls metropolitan area in the southeastern corner and the Brookings area display notably higher bachelor's degree attainment, with several zones exceeding 40–50%, consistent with the presence of major universities and regional economic hubs. The western portion of the state, particularly areas encompassing Native American reservations such as Pine Ridge and Rosebud, exhibits some of the lowest attainment rates, frequently falling below 10%. A broad swath of rural central South Dakota clusters in the 15–25% range, with small pockets of higher attainment likely corresponding to county seats or communities with regional colleges, such as Aberdeen and Pierre.
