Student Debt vs. Average Income from Kiplinger.com

 
Nothing says “college is a really serious investment that often leaves people in just-as-serious financial debt” quite like a page filled with maps and graphs, right? Kiplinger handles the dose of reality this round in releasing their “Student Debt vs. Average Income” map, an extremely comprehensive detailing of where the best values lie, which states are graduating the most students in debt, and which schools run up the highest tuition bills.
 

According to their report, Iowa leads the nation with 74% of their students graduating in some form of debt. Closely behind is New Hampshire at 73%, though students from the northeastern state graduate deeper in debt on average than any other state in the country. Safest from debt tend to be students in Hawaii (35%), which has always been sort of an anomaly because it’s in the middle of the ocean, and Utah, ringing in with a debt rate of 42%.
