Convis Township at work: what stands out
How the Jobs & income grade adds up in Convis Township
On income, poverty and job access, Convis Township is better than 43% of U.S. towns. All three inputs sit close together, so no single one decides Convis Township’s grade.
Unemployment (0.9%) is left out: Convis Township’s labor force is under 1,000, too few workers for a steady figure.
The commuting and job counts on this page are Census LEHD 2021: Michigan reports later than other states, so its newest year is two years behind.
A fairly firm grade. Within the Census margins of error for income and poverty, Convis Township could be anywhere from C to B+.
