Inside Coronita’s Jobs & income grade
On family income, poverty and job access, Coronita is better than 95% of U.S. towns, #22 of 847 in California. Job access by car is its strongest input (ahead of 89% of U.S. towns); family income ranks lowest, though still above most U.S. towns ($111,455, U.S. $99,999). It also does well on family income and the poverty rate.
16% of Coronita’s residents are college students, and off-campus students count in the Census poverty figures. Where students are 15% or more of the people the Census checks for poverty (17% here), the grade uses the rate without them: 3.7%, against 3.5% for all residents. Unemployment (0.7%) is left out here: students looking for part-time work count as unemployed. Income is ranked as median family income ($111,455), since student households pull the household median down ($111,932).
A fairly firm grade. Within the Census margins of error for family income and poverty, Coronita could be anywhere from B+ to A+.
