The largest employment sector is Education & health services, at 26.9% of covered employment, average pay $46,511/year. Trailing-12-month unemployment is 3.37%, below the 3.87% state average. The county carried the Republican presidential candidate in 2016, 2020, and 2024, taking 75% to 77% of the vote across the three. At least 11% of residents here live in group quarters rather than households, barracks, dormitories, correctional facilities or nursing homes; the ACS survey and the 2020 census disagree on how many, and this is the lower of the two, so the figures above describe a population substantially larger than the one a summons reaches.
