The overall college enrollment rate for 18- to 24-year-olds was 41 percent in 2019. The college enrollment rate in 2019 was higher for 18- to 24-year-olds who were Asian (62 percent) than for those who were of Two or more races (47 percent), White (41 percent), Black (37 percent), Hispanic (36 percent), and American Indian/Alaska Native (24 percent).

In this indicator, college enrollment rate is defined as the percentage of 18- to 24-year-olds enrolled as undergraduate or graduate students in 2- or 4-year institutions. The Immediate College Enrollment Rate indicator, in contrast, presents data on the percentage of high school completers who enroll in 2- or 4-year institutions in the fall immediately following high school.
