I'm working on a school project, and I need to find out where the most college degrees are concentrated in our population. Can anyone help me out or point me to a good source for this info?
In terms of geographic concentration, areas with a high density of academic and research institutions tend to have a higher percentage of individuals with college degrees. Regions like the Northeastern United States, specifically in areas around Boston and other educational hubs, have quite a high density of college-educated individuals.
Looking at this on a broader scale, however, more specific demographic information could be relevant. Based on U.S. Census Bureau data, Asian populations in the U.S. have the highest percentage of bachelor's degrees among adults 25 years and older, followed by white populations.
However, interpret this data with caution since there is a significant variance within these racial/ethnic groups. For example, specific Asian subpopulations may have higher or lower educational attainment rates.
Let me know if you need more specific information. It might be helpful to know whether you're looking for geographic, racial/ethnic, gender-based, age-based, or other types of data.
