Education, Health & Community


In 2023, 32.80% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is comparable to the national rate (35.00%). High school or higher is 88.70%, which is comparable to the national rate (89.40%). The uninsured rate is 14.90%, which is far higher than the national rate (8.60%). The share of people in poverty is 15.10%, which is far higher than the national rate (8.70%), up 3.00 percentage points since 2011 and above its 2019 pre-pandemic level by 0.90 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 (39.38%). College enrollment is 36.46%, which is markedly above the state rate (25.20%), indicating the community is likely a college hub with student-driven housing and services.
