Education, Health & Community


In 2023, 68.30% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is far higher than the national rate (35.00%), well above both the state and national averages.

Public coverage is 23.70%, which is generally lower than the state rate (38.90%).

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 (37.31%). College enrollment is 37.31%, which is far higher than the national rate (26.70%), indicating the community is likely a college hub with student-driven housing and services.
