Over the last two decades, the field of demographics has become vitally important to education policymakers at all levels.
Nothing is distributed evenly across the United States.
Not race, not religion, not age, not fertility, not wealth, and certainly not access to higher education. That depends on your state and your location. About one-quarter of Americans live in big cities, half live in suburbs, and a quarter live in small towns or rural areas. If you live in a central city in the eastern half of the country, you can expect almost no enrollment increases and some decreases. Those who can, flee to the suburbs.
