Education, Health & Community


In 2023, 21.80% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is comparable to the national rate (35.00%). High school or higher is 93.50%, which is markedly above the state rate (85.70%). The uninsured rate is 12.40%, which is on par with the state rate (17.40%). The share of people in poverty is 6.90%, which is on par with the state rate (10.50%), up 6.90 percentage points since 2011 and below its 2019 pre-pandemic level by 8.00 percentage points. This signals a sharp increase in hardship - a shrinking consumer base, heavy pressure on public services, and job-market contraction risks. Among residents ages 3+, the largest enrollment group is elementary (64.23%). College enrollment is 0.81%, 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.
