The county's racial composition (about 20% of the total population) is a tapestry of diverse populations including Hispanic/Latino, Native American, Asian and African American, whose customs make the area culturally rich. There are multiple excellent school districts and higher education opportunities which include the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, St. Norbert College, and Northeast Wisconsin Technical College.
