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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

High school graduation rates across the Boston metro area generally exceed 85%, with the highest concentrations in outer suburban zip codes to the west and south, where many areas approach or reach near-universal attainment. A distinct cluster of lower graduation rates—dropping below 75%—is evident in central Boston, East Boston, and parts of Lynn, likely reflecting zip codes with larger immigrant populations and historically underserved communities. The gradient from the urban core outward is particularly sharp, with adjacent zip codes in neighborhoods like Somerville and Medford showing notable variation despite their geographic proximity.
