The commute and the jobs: Seville Township in brief
What drives the Jobs & income grade in Seville Township
Household income holds Seville Township’s grade up ($76,020, U.S. $80,734); job access by car pulls it down (ahead of 20% of U.S. towns).
Unemployment (5.6%) is left out: Seville 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, Seville Township could be anywhere from C− to B.
