Figure 2: Percentage of Students Enrolled in Community College, by State, Race/Ethnicity, Age Group, and Parenting Status

These data include undergraduates in a degree or certificate program at public two- and four-year schools in 2017-18. Only students enrolled in their state of legal residence are included in NPSAS:18-AC analyses presented in this report. NPSAS:18-AC only includes information from administrative data sources and does not contain data from a student survey. (Previous iterations of the NPSAS have included both.) As a result, this dataset likely undercounts students with dependent children. Here, we use Hispanic to match the data source analyzed. Data for Hispanic student parents 24+ in Missouri are not included because standard errors were too high and/or sample sizes were too low.
