High School Graduate (% of Over 25) by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Washington D.C.

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

High school graduation rates across Washington D.C. display a pronounced east-west divide, with zip codes in the northwest quadrant consistently reaching 95–100% (shown in bright yellow), while eastern zip codes—particularly in Wards 7 and 8 east of the Anacostia River—fall notably lower into the 75–85% range (indicated by green shading). The central corridor running through downtown and Capitol Hill shows moderate-to-high rates, creating a transitional band between the two extremes. A few isolated zip codes in the northeast also dip below 85%, suggesting pockets of lower educational attainment that align with historically underserved communities.
