Peoria and Comparsion Cities

The table below compares Peoria to some similar cities. The data is somewhat old, from the 2000 census and 2003 estimates. The data shows the relatively high percentage of our citizens who have BA degrees. It also shows the relatively high rate of poverty. This illustrates the need for continued economic development efforts to provide good jobs for our less fortunate residents.
