Florida Educational Attainment Analysis

This map shows the percentage of people in Florida with bachelor’s degrees or higher in different parts of the state. Coastal areas generally show darker purple coloring, indicating lower rates of bachelor’s degree attainment (0-20%). This pattern is particularly evident along both the eastern and western coastlines. Central inland areas display lighter coloring, suggesting higher educational attainment rates (30-50%). You can see that major urban areas visible on the map (like around Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Fort Lauderdale) show a combination of education levels in some neighborhoods while adjacent neighborhoods have rather low attainment levels.
