In July 2020, the Some College, No Credential (SCNC) population has reached 39 million, approximately 22 percent of the U.S. population age 18 or older. A combination of net growth (1.9 million) and methodological enhancements contributed to the 3.1 million increase over the 36 million SCNC population previously reported in 2019. Forty-eight states and D.C. saw growth.
