Education, Health & Community


In 2023, 23.90% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is markedly below the state rate (44.70%). High school or higher is 96.50%, which is far higher than the national rate (89.40%). The uninsured rate is 5.50%, which is comparable to the national rate (8.60%). The share of people in poverty is 9.20%, which is on par with the state rate (5.90%), up 3.90 percentage points since 2011 and above its 2019 pre-pandemic level by 2.10 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 (43.46%). College enrollment is 10.46%, which is markedly below the state rate (27.40%), indicating the community may be more oriented toward vocational/trade or direct-to-workforce opportunities.
