This indicator provides the percent of veterans in the civilian population, ages 25 years and over, by educational attainment.

Veterans are persons 18 years and over who ever served on active duty. A civilian veteran refers to persons 18 years or older who served on active duty in any military branch or served in the National Guard or military reserves (only those ever called or ordered to active duty were classified as veterans). It does not include persons currently in active duty.
