Bachelor's Degree or Higher (% of Over 25) by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Washington D.C.

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The western and northwestern zip codes of Washington D.C. exhibit the highest concentrations of bachelor's degree attainment, consistently exceeding 50% of residents over 25, while the eastern and southeastern zip codes fall sharply to approximately 15–25%, creating a stark east-west educational divide. A small cluster near the central-south area displays notably low attainment near 0%, likely corresponding to a non-residential or institutionally dominated zip code, contrasting with the predominantly yellow high-attainment zones that dominate the western two-thirds of the district.
