A recent U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey, covering the five-year period ending in 2019, shows that Jefferson County, MO has increased in percentage of local residents receiving a graduate degree.

In Jefferson County, an estimated 20.4% of residents 25 and older held a bachelor’s or graduate degree between 2015 and 2019. That is an increase from the previous survey period, 2010-2014, when an estimated 18% of residents 25 and older held such a degree, the survey showed.

Missouri experienced an increase of 2.5 percentage points for residents who held at least a bachelor’s degree between the two periods – an estimated 29.2% of people held one between 2015 and 2019 compared with 26.7% between 2010 and 2014.

The median annual income for the holder of a bachelor’s degree in Missouri was $50,042 (adjusted to 2019 dollars), while high school graduates earned $30,658, according to the Survey.

Nearly a third of U.S. residents ages 25 and older – 32.1% – hold at least a bachelor’s degree, according to the survey covering the five-year period ending in 2019.

That is up from 27.5% in the five-year period ending in 2009, the Census Bureau survey showed.
