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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Northern Virginia's suburban zip codes consistently display high school graduation rates at or above 95%, appearing in bright yellow, while parts of the southwestern Appalachian region and select rural areas in Southside Virginia show notably lower attainment levels, dropping into the 60–75% range. A striking contrast emerges in the Hampton Roads area on the southeastern coast, where adjacent zip codes range from deep teal (below 70%) to bright yellow (above 95%), reflecting sharp socioeconomic divides within a compact urban region. Scattered pockets of very low attainment—visible as dark purple—appear in a few isolated zip codes near Danville, the Eastern Shore, and portions of the Norfolk-Virginia Beach metro area, likely corresponding to concentrated poverty or immigrant communities with limited formal education access.
