Where Auxvasse’s Jobs & income grade comes from
On income, poverty and job access, Auxvasse is better than 14% of U.S. towns. Job access by car holds Auxvasse’s grade up (ahead of 46% of U.S. towns); the poverty rate pulls it down (29.8%, U.S. 12.5%).
Unemployment (8.1%) is left out: Auxvasse’s labor force is under 1,000, too few workers for a steady figure.

Half of Auxvasse commutes less than 24 miles
About 21% 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.
