In 2023, 10.50% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is far lower than the national rate (35.00%). High school or higher is 80.00%, which is markedly below the state rate (89.60%). The uninsured rate is 9.90%, which is comparable to the national rate (8.60%). Public coverage is 48.70%, which is notably higher than the state rate (36.20%).

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 (50.86%). College enrollment is 13.79%, 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.
