Educational attainment is reported in terms of the highest level of education obtained by persons aged 25 years and older. On this page, we report on both detailed and coarse categorizations of the levels of education in the population. The detailed levels of educational attainment are as follows:

  • None: no formal education at all
  • Less than High School: some education, but stopped short of high school
  • Some High School: some high school education, but no high school diploma (or equivalent)
  • Some College: high school diploma (or equivalent), and some college, but no post-secondary degree
  • Associate's Degree: highest post-secondary degree is an associate's degree (including occupational or academic degrees)
  • Bachelor's Degree: highest post-secondary degree is a bachelor's degree (e.g., BA, BS, AB)

Unlike the other geographical entities detailed on this site, neighborhoods are not recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau. To overcome this we have computed reasonable estimates of the same statistics that are presented for other the entity types. Each statistic is computed as the weighted sum or average of the census tracts or block groups that overlap the neighborhood. A weighted sum is used for counts of people or households, and a weighted average is used for statistics that are themselves some form of average, such as median household income. Census block groups are preferred when the statistic in question is available on the block group level. The weight for a given tract (or block group) is computed as the population of the census tabulation blocks that occupy the intersection between the tract and the neighborhood as a fraction of the total population of the neighborhood.
