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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

High school graduation rates across New Mexico exhibit stark geographic disparities, with the northwestern region—encompassing Navajo Nation and other tribal lands—displaying notably lower attainment levels (many zip codes below 75%), while suburban areas around Albuquerque and Santa Fe consistently reach 90% or above. The southern border region near Las Cruces and the far southeast also show pockets of lower educational attainment, contrasting with higher-performing zip codes in the eastern plains and select mountain communities. Several isolated zip codes in the central and south-central parts of the state fall into the lowest quintiles (below 50%), likely corresponding to small, rural communities or tribal areas with historically limited educational infrastructure.
