Public coverage is 61.60%, which is far higher than the national rate (36.30%).

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 college (38.21%). College enrollment is 38.21%, which is comparable to the national rate (26.70%), meaning the community mirrors broader higher-education participation.
