    Estimating future first-generation college students

    As part of our work on the county attainment profiles with myFutureNC, we regularly identify new data sources and metrics that help answer questions we are hearing.

    We recently developed another new county indicator: the share of children who would be first-generation in college students, based on the current educational attainment of their parents or guardian.

    Statewide, nearly 1.2 million North Carolina children would be first-generation in college students - meaning they live in a household where the highest educational attainment of their parent or household head is less than an associate degree. This represents just under half-49%-of all North Carolina children.
