Financial Literacy in Cedar, KS

Cedar, Kansas is home to about 13 people. Its population has held essentially flat since 2020, moving less than a percent either way.

0% of Cedar residents 25 and older have completed a bachelor's degree or more. That sits 20.2 points below the Kansas average of 20.2%. Put the other way round: of the 7 adults 25 and over counted in the 2019–2023 ACS, roughly 7 — 100% — are building their financial lives without a four-year degree behind them.

Kansas has committed to 1 semester of personal finance as a graduation requirement, phasing in with the class of 2027 — so today's middle schoolers will be the first cohort held to it. That covers students still in the system. It does nothing for the adults already out of it — which, in Cedar, is most of the people reading this.
