What stands out about work in Beverly
Jobs & income in Beverly: the grade in detail
All three inputs sit close together, so no single one decides Beverly’s grade.
Unemployment (1.5%) is left out: Beverly’s labor force is under 1,000, too few workers for a steady figure.
A fairly firm grade. Within the Census margins of error for income and poverty, Beverly could be anywhere from D− to C−.

Round trip, about 230 workdays a year: roughly 9.7 full days in the car, bus or train.

The daily flow of workers through Beverly
On a workday 435 residents head out to work, 41 work right here, and 504 people come in from elsewhere.
About as many people by day as by night: the people who leave are replaced by the people who come in.
About as many jobs as working residents (1.14 per resident).
Workday population = residents − those who work elsewhere + those who come in (the Census “commuter-adjusted” method). Residents: Census survey; commuters: LEHD 2023, primary jobs.

What kind of work
What it pays
Who does it
Jobs based in Beverly, 2013 → 2023: 518 → 545. Big swings can come from how a large employer reports its locations, not only from real openings or closings.
Primary jobs covered by unemployment insurance (not the self-employed). Pay is monthly earnings. LEHD 2023.
Here is what they are, next to the jobs Beverly’s own residents hold wherever they work.
Miles to work from Beverly
About 25% 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.
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.
In Beverly, the car does most of the work
The street layout scores higher than the way people actually get to work: hardly any commuters walk, bike or take transit, below the 3.7% across Ohio.
A firm grade. EPA’s index has no published margin of error; the commuting share comes from a Census survey of 598 workers.
How TownRatings grades walkability →
Transit service: no data. EPA’s transit file has no stops for most of this county (its agencies had not published schedules in the format EPA used in 2020). That is missing data, not a finding that there is no bus or train.
Households without a car (shown, not graded). 2.6% of Beverly households have no vehicle (Ohio 7.5%, U.S. 8.4%). 0% of Beverly’s commuters take a bus or train.
