38.4% of Morgan's Point residents 25 and older have completed a bachelor's degree or more. That runs 19.9 points above the Texas average of 18.5%. Put the other way round: of the 172 adults 25 and over counted in the 2019–2023 ACS, roughly 106 — 61.6% — are building their financial lives without a four-year degree behind them.
Texas has committed to 1 semester of personal finance as a graduation requirement, phasing in with the class of 2030 — 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 Morgan's Point, is most of the people reading this.
