What the IPEDS Data Shows for Colleges Near ZIP 10001

This ZIP-centric view compiles institutions in PlainCollege's Scorecard dataset whose reported latitude and longitude fall within approximately 100 miles of ZIP code 10001, centered on New York. Each college’s coordinates come from IPEDS institutional characteristics and are used to compute great-circle distances via the haversine formula. We found 25 matching institutions, and the closest is Fashion Institute of Technology at roughly 0.0 miles. Straight-line miles differ from driving miles, so the distance column is best treated as a proximity signal rather than a commute estimate.

Nearby institutions typically span the full ownership mix – public four-year universities, public two-year community colleges, private nonprofits, and private for-profits – because ZIP-code proximity doesn’t filter by sector. The schools on this page represent 3 distinct ownership sectors in IPEDS, which is why the acceptance-rate and net-price columns vary widely even among schools a few miles apart. Selectivity data (acceptance rate) is populated only for institutions that screen applicants, so open-enrollment community colleges correctly show no acceptance rate. Net price figures come from the College Scorecard and reflect average cost of attendance after grant and scholarship aid for full-time, first-time undergraduate Title IV recipients; they are not Pell-only estimates or personalized prices.

Ten-year earnings data uses Treasury-derived records for federally aided former students who were working and not enrolled in the measurement year; the entry cohort is not limited to graduates. Because earnings depend heavily on credential level, field of study, student background, and local labor markets, this is descriptive context rather than a causal school effect. Use the table alongside acceptance and net-price columns to compare nearby options, then verify current costs and program details directly.
