A Look at Geographic Distribution of Student Debt - Paul Fain, Inside Higher Ed

A new web tool from the Urban Institute reveals the geographic distribution of student loan debt, with interactive data on debt levels and the share of people who took out student loans at both state and county levels. The Northeast and Midwest have the highest portions of college students who borrow (45 percent and 44 percent, respectively), according a related paper the institute released today. Students from the Northeast also borrowed the most, with an average annual amount of $8,749. https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2018/04/05/look-geographic-distribution-student-debt
