Arizona

[Del Tachi]

Whites with college degrees are trending D, and the Hispanic population is growing.

Arizona is not a particularly educated state.  AZ actually has the lowest fraction of high school graduates of any state (only 82.1%), and the % of the population with bachelor's degrees or higher is only 28.4% (about the same as MO or MI). 

What Arizona does have is a young, booming Latino population but the White people who live there are actually a lot of older (and relatively) uneducated retirees.

Is this true? I need to do some digging, but I have lived in AZ and feel like my lived experience contradicts this. Though maybe there is just a sharp line, because AZ has a lot of trailer trash but also a LOT of wealthy, educated white professional types in both Phoenix and Tucson.

Zip codes around Paradise Valley and Scottsdale are some of the wealthiest areas in the country.

White people in Arizona are probably more educated than White people in Wisconsin, but the masses of uneducated Latino immigrants (who are driving AZ's leftward zoom) definitely hurt the state's top-line educational attainment statistics.
