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 584 working residents, small shifts move the shares.
Why Haskell Township gets the Jobs & income grade it does
On income, poverty, unemployment and job access, Haskell Township is better than 23% of U.S. towns. Household income holds Haskell Township’s grade up ($71,667, U.S. $80,734); job access by car pulls it down (ahead of 9% of U.S. towns).

How many miles Haskell Township commutes

Straight-line distance from each worker’s home block to their main job’s block. LEHD 2023.
Every working resident’s trip, home to work, as the crow flies. Roads add to it, so real drives run longer.
