The American Community Survey estimates adults' highest level of schooling by six geographies called Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs) (similar to but not the same as wards). More adults living in PUMA “East” (or in Wards 7 and 8) had a high school diploma or GED equivalent as their highest educational level compared to other parts of the city (estimated between 2019 and 2023). More adults living in PUMA “Central” and PUMA “South Central” and PUMA "Northeast" have bachelor’s degrees. More adults living in PUMA "West" and PUMA "Central" have a Master’s, doctorate, or professional degree compared to other parts of the city.
