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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

High school graduation rates across Nebraska zip codes generally exceed 85% in rural western and central regions, with numerous zip codes reaching 95–100% (bright yellow), reflecting the educational attainment typical of smaller, less diverse agricultural communities. Notable low-graduation clusters (dark blue/teal, below 60%) appear in the south-central part of the state—likely corresponding to meatpacking communities such as Lexington and Grand Island—as well as in portions of the Omaha metro area in the far east, where immigrant populations and urban poverty contribute to lower attainment figures. The southeastern corner of the state also displays a patchwork of moderate-to-low rates, contrasting sharply with the uniformly high attainment seen across the Sandhills and Panhandle regions.
