The work figures that set Schuylerville apart
How Schuylerville earns its Jobs & income grade
On income, poverty and job access, Schuylerville is better than 54% of U.S. towns. Household income holds Schuylerville’s grade up ($86,765, U.S. $80,734); job access by car pulls it down (ahead of 43% of U.S. towns). It also does well on the poverty rate.
Unemployment (2.5%) is left out: Schuylerville’s labor force is under 1,000, too few workers for a steady figure.
A rough placement. Within the Census margins of error for income and poverty, Schuylerville could be anywhere from C to A−.
