Education, Health & Community

In 2023, 17.80% of adults (25+) have a bachelor's degree or higher, which is markedly below the state rate (38.80%). High school or higher is 88.70%, which is on par with the state rate (92.20%).

College enrollment is 9.24%, which is far lower than the national rate (26.70%), indicating the community may be more oriented toward vocational/trade or direct-to-workforce opportunities.
