Population Trends and
Educational Attainment

Educational attainment varied by age. Across all racial and ethnic groups, adults ages 35 to 44 had higher levels of educational attainment than other age groups in 2017. Hispanics or Latinos followed a different pattern than other racial and ethnic groups in that a higher percentage of each age group had attained a college degree than the one preceding it. Regardless of age, Asians had the highest level of educational attainment when compared to other racial and ethnic groups.
