In 2023, 25.10% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is markedly below the state rate (36.50%). High school or higher is 92.40%, which is markedly above the state rate (84.60%). The uninsured rate is 5.20%, which is comparable to the national rate (8.60%).

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 elementary (78.48%). College enrollment is 1.90%, which is markedly below the state rate (30.00%), indicating the community may be more oriented toward vocational/trade or direct-to-workforce opportunities.
