High School Graduate (% of Over 25) by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Alabama

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

High school graduation rates across Alabama zip codes reveal a pronounced rural-urban divide, with the Black Belt region in the south-central part of the state displaying consistently lower attainment levels (often below 75%), appearing in darker teal and blue tones. Suburban zip codes surrounding Birmingham, Huntsville, and the northern metropolitan corridors cluster at 90–100%, forming distinct bright yellow pockets that contrast sharply with adjacent lower-performing areas. Coastal zip codes near Mobile show considerable variability, with some areas approaching state highs while nearby zones dip below 70%, suggesting localized socioeconomic disparities even within the same metro region.
