Education, Health & Community


In 2023, 33.00% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is comparable to the national rate (35.00%). High school or higher is 89.30%, which is on par with the state rate (89.60%). The uninsured rate is 7.50%, which is on par with the state rate (10.00%). The share of people in poverty is 14.70%, which is far higher than the national rate (8.70%), up 3.60 percentage points since 2011 and above its 2019 pre-pandemic level by 4.60 percentage points. This points to rising hardship - a weaker consumer base, greater strain on public services, and job-market headwinds. Among residents ages 3+, the largest enrollment group is elementary (53.29%). College enrollment is 15.49%, 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.
