As we previously reported in Issues (September 27, 2013) Canton and Stark County's adults, age 25 and over, have a higher percentage of Associate Degrees than either the state or nation[1].

While not yet matching the state or nation on percentage of Bachelor's Degrees, Canton and Stark County have grown faster since 2005 when the U.S. Census first began its yearly American Community Survey[2].
