Education, Health & Community


In 2023, 32.40% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is comparable to the national rate (35.00%). High school or higher is 91.50%, which is comparable to the national rate (89.40%). The uninsured rate is 13.00%, which is far higher than the national rate (8.60%).

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 (42.75%). College enrollment is 27.29%, which is comparable to the national rate (26.70%), meaning the community mirrors broader higher-education participation.
