Education, Health & Community

In 2023, 33.20% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is markedly above the state rate (27.80%). High school or higher is 91.00%, which is notably higher than the state rate (88.10%). The uninsured rate is 10.00%, which is comparable to the national rate (8.60%). The share of people in poverty is 21.80%, which is far higher than the national rate (8.70%), up 1.10 percentage points since 2011 and above its 2019 pre-pandemic level by 4.00 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 (37.68%). College enrollment is 21.52%, 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.
