Rankings
Definition
Residents aged 15 and over whose highest completed level is higher education (university degrees and higher vocational training, ISCED 5 to 8), as a percentage of all residents aged 15 and over, on 1 January. INE annual census.
Spain only, down to every municipality, from 2021. The base includes people aged 15 to 24 who are still studying, so the share is lower than tertiary_attainment_share_25_64 (Eurostat, ages 25 to 64), which is the series to compare countries.
How it is calculated
Invokely calculation: residents aged 15 and over with higher education divided by all residents aged 15 and over, same place and year, both from the INE annual census.

- Population aged 15 and over with higher education (annual census) (2024): 139,126, INE
