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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

High school graduation rates across New York State exhibit a clear urban-rural divide, with New York City—particularly parts of the Bronx and Brooklyn—displaying some of the lowest rates, dropping below 70%, while many suburban and rural zip codes in the Southern Tier, Finger Lakes, and Adirondack regions consistently exceed 90%. A notable cluster of lower attainment also appears around Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo, corresponding to urban cores with historically underserved populations. Long Island presents a sharp internal contrast, with affluent areas on the North Shore and Hamptons reaching near-universal graduation rates while pockets in western Suffolk and parts of Nassau fall noticeably behind.
