not really, that's roughly the percentage for the entire population of the country.
Exactly. The less educated population matters just as much as the more educated. Those people are not represented in this map.
here's all the counties by education attainment. high school, 4-year college, graduate/professional degree.

Other than the obvious typo on the top chart, this is really interesting information.
