:: Educational attainment in 2000 among Wayne County's residents was generally lower than that of the region as a whole, although the percentage of high school and college graduates has increased dramatically since 1990. :: Twenty percent of the county's residents over the age of 25 have not graduated from high school, compared to thirty percent in 1990. Eighteen percent of the county’s residents have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to less than fourteen percent in 1990. :: Educational attainment data was only available for Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and Washtenaw counties at the time of printing. Each county has attained markedly higher graduation rates during 1990 and 2000, however Wayne County had the greatest change, thoroughly influenced by Detroit. This overall increase in educational attainment is largely the result in improved economic conditions.
