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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

High school graduation rates across the Seattle metro area exhibit a clear suburban-urban divide, with outlying areas to the north, east, and west consistently reaching 95–100% (yellow), while a corridor of lower attainment (70–85%) stretches south from central Seattle through Renton, Kent, and into Tacoma and Lakewood. The lowest graduation rates, dipping below 75%, cluster in south Seattle zip codes and parts of central Tacoma, areas that historically have higher immigrant and lower-income populations. Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond on the Eastside maintain uniformly high rates above 90%, contrasting sharply with the more varied educational attainment patterns found just across Lake Washington.
