Education, Health & Community


In 2023, 14.10% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is far lower than the national rate (35.00%).

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 (52.50%). College enrollment is 35.00%, which is on par with the state rate (26.60%), meaning the community mirrors broader higher-education participation.
