Education, Health & Community

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 college (87.22%). College enrollment is 87.22%, which is markedly above the state rate (26.20%), indicating the community is likely a college hub with student-driven housing and services.
