I need to know how many single, college-educated women there are in
the U.S. between the ages of 25 and 35.  Thank you very much!

Hi Birkett7,

According to data released in March 2002 from the 2002 Current
Population Survey, there were 8,343,000 "never married" women of all
races in the 25-34 age group.  Of these, 592,000 had an Associate's
degree, 1,966,000 had a Bachelor's degree, 334,000 had a Master's
degree, 93,000 had some sort of professional degree, and 45,000 had a
Doctorate.

There were 378,000 "separated" women in the same age group (all
races).  29,000 had an Associate's, 41,000 had a Bachelor's, 8,000 had
a Master's, 1,000 had a professional degree.

There were 21,000 who were "widowed."  4,000 had a Bachelor's degree,
2,000 had a Master's, and 2,000 had a professional degree.

There were 979,000 who were "divorced."  87,000 had an Associate's
degree, 106,000 had a Bachelor's, 25,000 had a Master's, 3,000 had a
professional degree, and 2,000 had a Doctorate.

All total, that would be 9,721,000 single women between 25-34 of all
races in the US in spring of 2000.  Of these, 708,000 had Associate's
degrees, 2,117,000 had Bachelor's degrees, 369,000 had Master's
degrees, 99,000 had professional degrees, and 47,000 had Doctorates. 
If we assume that the Masters, professionals, and Doctorates are
preceded by a Bachelors, we can add all five categories together to
get the total number of college-degreed women between 25-34:
3,340,000.  This is approximately 1/3rd of the population for this
demographic!

These numbers are for highest education attained, and are available in
PDF format at http://www.census.gov/population/socdemo/education/ppl-169/tab03.pdf
To get to this table I went to the US Census website (www.census.gov),
clicked on "People", then "Education" and "Educational Attainment." 
At the next screen (http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/educ-attn.html),
I chose the detailed table PPL-169 from CPS (current population
survey) 2002.

Hi Birkett7,
I have not been able to dig up that specific information.  I can find
statistics on education level and marital status, but I couldn't
cross-reference that with age.  But it's possible I may I have
overlooked it.
Take a look at this previous question:

Your answer might be buried somewhere in that census data.

Good luck,

Hi there!  Thanks for your answer.  Quick question, can you broaden
the age range of this search with the same critera?  I'm looking at 18
years old to forty who are single and college educated.  THanks.
