Rankings were based on the percentage of residents with a bachelor’s degree or higher, and only ZIP codes with at least 5,000 residents and a minimum of $25,000 in income per capita were included to account for anomalies like exceptionally low populations in a given area.

Over 86% of the residents of 28207 have obtained a bachelor’s degree or higher. Charlotte’s most-educated ZIP code is also the one with the highest income per capita. The ZIP is home to just over 9,700 people with a per-capita income of $184,134.
