The average cost of a college education in the United States is $35,720 a year — three times higher than it was two decades ago. Surging prices have led to unprecedented student debt levels totalling more than $1.7 trillion and may partially explain why college enrollment has fallen by nearly 2% a year since 2010. (This is the most expensive college in every state.)
Nonetheless, while a college education may not be for everyone, it remains a valuable asset that can offer better access to career opportunities, improve job security, and increase earning potential. Nationwide, an estimated 32.1% of American adults 25 and older have a bachelor’s degree or higher. Educational attainment rates vary considerably across the country, however, and in some counties, the share of adults with a bachelor’s degree is more than double the national average.
Using education data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 24/7 Wall St. identified the most educated counties or county equivalents in the United States. In each of the cities on this list, over 70% of the adult population have at least a bachelor’s degree. (Here’s a list of how many people have had a college degree every year since 1971.)
The average weekly wage for a college-educated worker in the United States is about 67% higher than it is for those with no more than a high school diploma. Additionally, college-educated Americans are less than half as likely to be unemployed as those who only finished high school. In all but eight counties on this list, the typical household earns more than the national median household income of $62,843, and most have a lower five-year average unemployment rate among the 25 to 64-year-old population than the comparable 4.4% national figure.
Several of the counties and county equivalents on this list, including Tompkins County, New York; Story County, Iowa; and the independent city of Charlottesville, Virginia, are home to major research universities. These areas have large graduate school populations and often a concentration of employers that require university graduates to fill high-skill jobs.

Methodology
To determine America’s most educated counties, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed five-year estimates of the percentage of adults 25 years and over with at least a bachelor’s degree from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2019 American Community Survey.
Of the 3,220 counties or county equivalents, 3,142 had boundaries that fell within one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia.
Counties were excluded if bachelor’s degree or higher attainment rates were not available in the 2019 ACS, if the county’s 25 and older population was less than 1,000, or if the sampling error associated with a county’s data was deemed too high.
The sampling error was defined as too high if the coefficient of variation — a statistical assessment of how reliable an estimate is — for a county’s bachelor’s or higher attainment rate was above 15% and greater than two standard deviations above the mean CV for all counties’ bachelor’s or higher attainment rate. We similarly excluded counties that had a sampling error too high for their 25 and over population estimates, using the same definition.
The remaining 3,022 counties were ranked based on the share of adults 25 years and over with at least a bachelor’s degree.
Additional information on the median earnings for adults 25 and over with earnings that hold a bachelor’s degree, median earnings for adults 25 and over with earnings for all levels of educational attainment, unemployment rates for the 25-64-year-old population that have at least a bachelor’s degree, unemployment rates for the 25-64-year-old population for all educational attainment levels, and population are also five-year estimates from the 2019 ACS.
