Education, Health & Community

In 2023, 15.30% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is far lower than the national rate (35.00%). High school or higher is 95.20%, which is markedly above the state rate (88.60%). The uninsured rate is 1.90%, which is far lower than the national rate (8.60%).

This signals a sharp increase in hardship - a shrinking consumer base, heavy pressure on public services, and job-market contraction risks. Among residents ages 3+, the largest enrollment group is elementary (44.64%). College enrollment is 5.36%, which is far lower than the national rate (26.70%), indicating the community may be more oriented toward vocational/trade or direct-to-workforce opportunities.
