Comparison of College Enrollment Rates What is the overall college going rate for each of the 23 community colleges’ service regions (including all higher education providers) and what proportion is served by the community colleges? How does that compare nationally? The college going rate is measured by the percent of residents of the service area that are enrolled in an institution of higher education. Table 1 shows 12-month unduplicated enrollments in all and 2-year public only Title IV degree-granting institutions for Virginia and nationally, and in VCCS colleges. The college enrollment rate is calculated as percentage of college enrollments of total population counts by 2010 Census. Table 1.
