Education, Health & Community

In 2023, 66.40% 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. High school or higher is 95.50%, which is markedly above the state rate (84.60%). The uninsured rate is 3.20%, which is far lower than the national rate (8.60%). Public coverage is 25.40%, which is generally lower than the state rate (38.90%). The share of people in poverty is 10.50%, which is on par with the state rate (8.40%), up 4.60 percentage points since 2011 and above its 2019 pre-pandemic level by 0.70 percentage points. This signals a sharp increase in hardship - a shrinking consumer base, heavy pressure on public services, and job-market contraction risks. Among residents ages 3+, the largest enrollment group is college (37.76%). College enrollment is 37.76%, which is far higher than the national rate (26.70%), indicating the community is likely a college hub with student-driven housing and services.
