Education, Health & Community

In 2023, 25.00% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is markedly below the state rate (36.50%). High school or higher is 92.70%, which is markedly above the state rate (84.60%). The uninsured rate is 7.80%, which is on par with the state rate (6.90%). The share of people in poverty is 12.30%, which is on par with the state rate (8.40%), up 1.50 percentage points since 2011 and below its 2019 pre-pandemic level by 5.90 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 (39.19%). College enrollment is 32.55%, which is far higher than the national rate (26.70%), indicating the community is likely a college hub with student-driven housing and services.
