New State-by-State Student Debt Data

The Project on Student Debt has released a new analysis of student debt for the class of 2005, based on data reported by more than 1,400 four-year colleges and universities around the country. The results provide a unique, state-level look at student loan debt, with total, public, and private sector averages for all 50 states (weighted by campus enrollment). The findings challenge common assumptions about the relationship between debt and other factors such as tuition and cost of living.

The report and an interactive map, which provides the statewide averages and additional campus-by-campus data, are available at projectonstudentdebt.org.
