an advanced degree being any degree beyond high school, including bachelors. that was my understanding from marketing data i was shown in the early 90s.

The Census Bureau's Excel spreadsheet here indicates that just over the 6% of our total population have an advanced degree.

However, I think it is more reasonable to compare apples-to-apples, so if you do the computation for the 25-year-old and older subset of our population (I don't really expect all that many 7 year-olds to have a Ph.D.), it comes to just under 10% of that segment of our population (i.e., display (O24+p24+Q24)/B24 as a percentage.)
