EDUCATION Wake Forest’s population is slightly more educated than the State’s but trails the County’s. Between North Carolina, Wake County, and Wake Forest, the County has the highest educational attainment levels, though there is not a substantial disparity in between the three geographies. This is likely due to Raleigh’s urban nature and universities located in the County that provide greater access to higher education institutions. The Town has the second highest rate of graduate and professional degrees (14%) and second lowest rate of residents aged 25 or older without a high school diploma (10%).
