Education, Health & Community

In 2023, 52.80% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is markedly above the state rate (30.20%), well above both the state and national averages.

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 (66.46%). College enrollment is 66.46%, which is markedly above the state rate (26.20%), indicating the community is likely a college hub with student-driven housing and services.
