What It Is:
This measure represents the percent of the population age 25-44 with some post-secondary education, such as enrollment at vocational/technical schools, junior colleges, or four-year colleges. It includes individuals who pursued education following high school but did not receive a degree.
Where It Comes From:
Estimates of the population age 25-44 with some post-secondary education were calculated using the most recent 5-year estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS).
