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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

High school graduation rates across the Phoenix metro area exhibit a stark core-periphery divide, with the lowest rates—below 60%—concentrated in central and south Phoenix zip codes, while suburban communities such as Gilbert, Chandler, north Scottsdale, and the far north consistently exceed 90%. A notable east-west gradient is also visible, as zip codes west of central Phoenix near Glendale display moderately lower attainment (70–85%) compared to the uniformly high rates in the eastern suburbs. The darkest clusters align with historically underserved neighborhoods surrounding downtown Phoenix, underscoring persistent educational attainment gaps within a few miles of affluent, high-performing zip codes.
