Education, Health & Community


In 2023, 27.80% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is markedly below the state rate (35.50%). High school or higher is 93.20%, which is well above the national rate (89.40%). The uninsured rate is 4.20%, which is far lower than 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 (48.07%). College enrollment is 14.02%, which is markedly below the state rate (27.30%), indicating the community may be more oriented toward vocational/trade or direct-to-workforce opportunities.
