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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

High school graduation rates across New Jersey exhibit a clear north-south divide, with the northern and central suburban zip codes—particularly in Morris, Somerset, and Hunterdon counties—consistently reaching 95–100%, while parts of southern New Jersey, especially in Cumberland and Salem counties, drop notably into the 70–85% range. Urban cores such as Newark, Paterson, Trenton, and Camden stand out as darker-shaded clusters with some of the lowest rates in the state, often falling below 75%. The Atlantic City area in the southeast also displays a pronounced pocket of lower attainment, contrasting sharply with the surrounding suburban and exurban zip codes.
