Not a single resident in 21 Utah cities, towns or unincorporated places has a bachelor’s degree. But in the ski resort areas of Summit Park and Snyderville, two of every five adults have degrees.
That’s an example of estimates released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau from its American Community Survey for 2007 to 2011. It provides the only statistics down to the neighborhood level for a variety of social, economic and demographic data.
Combining survey results over the five-year period allows comparing some small areas with large cities — although margins of error are sometimes big —to look at estimates at such things as which areas are the richest, poorest, most educated or have the fewest people able to speak English well.
