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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Burlington metropolitan area in northwestern Vermont stands out as a prominent cluster of high bachelor's degree attainment, with several zip codes exceeding 50%, likely reflecting the influence of the University of Vermont and associated economic opportunities. A secondary corridor of elevated educational attainment runs through central Vermont, particularly around the Montpelier-Barre area and extending southward through the Upper Valley region near the New Hampshire border. The Northeast Kingdom and portions of the rural northern tier consistently register among the lowest rates in the state, generally falling below 20%, highlighting a persistent urban-rural education gap across Vermont.
