Seville makes and builds things
57% of the jobs based in Seville are in goods: factories, construction and farms. Across the jobs Seville residents hold, wherever they work, it’s 24%. The jobs ↓
Seville’s biggest commute is a long one

A big share show a job far from home
37% of working residents have a main job more than 50 miles away. Part of that is employers that report every worker at one head office, so not all of those trips happen daily. How far ↓
Written from the Census figures on this page. Commute flows, distances and jobs are Census LEHD 2023, primary jobs only (the self-employed aren’t counted); commute time and working from home are from the Census American Community Survey; with 278 working residents, small shifts move the shares.
What drives the Jobs & income grade in Seville
Household income holds Seville’s grade up ($143,368, U.S. $80,734); job access by car pulls it down (ahead of 5% of U.S. towns). It also does well on the poverty rate.

A rough placement. Within the Census margins of error for income and poverty, Seville could be anywhere from D to A−.

Miles to work from Seville
About 37% show a job over 50 miles away. Some of that is real, and some is employers that report every worker at a head office, so a few long commutes are on paper only.
