ACS Education by Veteran Status Centroids

Overview This feature service provides American Community Survey estimates for educational attainment among the civilian population age 25 and over, organized by veteran status. It combines counts and calculated percentages for veterans and nonveterans, showing how each group is distributed across four education categories: less than high school graduate, high school graduate or equivalency, some college or associate's degree, and bachelor's degree or higher. Feature Layers State: State-level polygon features with area and name identifiers, plus American Community Survey summary measures for veteran and nonveteran educational attainment. County: County-level polygon features with state and county names, geographic identifiers, and the same veteran and nonveteran education estimates and percentages. Tract: Census tract-level polygon features with state and county context, geographic identifiers, and the same American Community Survey education-by-veteran-status indicators. Geographic Coverage The service covers the United States at multiple administrative scales, including states, counties, and census tracts. Use Cases Compare educational attainment patterns between veterans and nonveterans. Map geographic variation in veteran population characteristics.
