UNHP has been comparing the people we serve in our tax and other programs with the demographic trends in the Bronx. Devon, as a high
school graduate and college student, outperforms much of his neighbors in Bronx Community District 7, where 1/3rd of community residents do not have a high school diploma or GED. Upon college graduation, Devon will be among the 18% of Bronx residents with a Bachelor’s degree.
