Green Township at work: what stands out
Where Green Township’s Jobs & income grade comes from
On income, poverty and job access, Green Township is better than 70% of U.S. towns. The poverty rate holds Green Township’s grade up (1.5%, U.S. 12.5%); job access by car pulls it down (ahead of 17% of U.S. towns). It also does well on household income.
Unemployment (0.0%) is left out: Green Township’s labor force is under 1,000, too few workers for a steady figure.
A fairly firm grade. Within the Census margins of error for income and poverty, Green Township could be anywhere from B to B+.
