Hello, everyone. I'm researching for a project on educational attainment across states. I'm trying to understand, which states have the lowest percentages of college-educated residents? I'd really appreciate some input on this. Thanks!
Hello! The percentages can fluctuate slightly year by year due to various factors, but as of my last update, some states with the lowest percentages of individuals who have completed a Bachelor's degree or higher are West Virginia, Mississippi, and Arkansas. West Virginia stands out with the lowest proportion, with 24.8% of its residents having a Bachelor's degree or higher. Please note that these figures might have changed slightly, so it would be a good idea to check the most recent data from sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau for the most accurate information.
