College attainment rose 3.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 21.9% to 25.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.7pp).

Broader trend
47% of similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. Pinellas Park started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.
