Long Islanders are generally more educated than NYCers

As a region, we are well educated.

Among residents 25 and over, only nine percent have do not possess a high school diploma, which is half of New York City’s 18 percent.

But if we break out Long Island into Nassau and Suffolk counties, the picture changes a little.

Nassau County is outperforming Suffolk County in pursuing higher education.
