    Educational attainment

    What we collect

    This indicator tracks the level of educational attainment of County residents, including high school, college, undergraduate, and post-graduate studies.

    Why we collect it

    Educational attainment provides a general measure of an individual's knowledge and a reflection of the skills available to both society and the labour market. Monitoring this indicator will gauge our success in removing barriers to higher education as well as track the County's skilled workforce so key industries can be attracted to create a more prosperous community.
