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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The western and southwestern suburbs of St. Louis display the highest concentrations of bachelor's degree attainment, with many zip codes exceeding 50%, while a pronounced corridor of low educational attainment (below 10%) runs through north St. Louis city and into the Florissant area. St. Charles and St. Peters in the western portion of the metro sit in a moderate range around 30-40%, forming a transitional zone between the highly educated southwestern suburbs and the less-educated northern reaches. A sharp east-west educational divide is evident within St. Louis city itself, where affluent southern and central-west neighborhoods contrast starkly with near-zero rates in several north city zip codes just a few miles away.
