This article explores historical evidence of spatial inequality in a particular metropolitan setting, focusing on adult education. Variation in collegiate education is interpreted in light of Bourdieu's conception of cultural capital. Using census tract data, OLS regression suggests that education levels were moderately independent of other social characteristics in both 1960 and 1980. Historically, distinct “education zones” or districts took shape before conflict over desegregation erupted. We also examine differences in student attainment with individual-level data, and consider the question of peer influences on educational success. Altogether, we suggest that education became an important dimension of geospatial inequality in metropolitan life, rather independently of controversies over race and “white flight.”
