Jobs & income grade

Where Cedarville Township’s Jobs & income grade comes from

Family income is its strongest input ($122,500, U.S. $99,999); job access by car ranks lowest, though still above most U.S. towns (ahead of 63% of U.S. towns). It also does well on the poverty rate and job access by car.

Family income $122,500 (±$11,387) · OH $92,749 · U.S. $99,999Higher than 79% of U.S. towns
Poverty, non-students 5.2% (±7.2) · OH 12.6% · U.S. 11.9%Lower than 79% of U.S. towns
Job access by car EPA, jobs within a 45-minute driveMore than 63% of U.S. towns
Ohio towns we grade 992 towns#192 of 992

Where students are 15% or more of the people the Census checks for poverty (18% here), the grade uses the rate without them: 5.2%, against 11.9% for all residents. Unemployment (9.7%) is left out here: students looking for part-time work count as unemployed. Income is ranked as median family income ($122,500), since student households pull the household median down ($95,357).

BA

A fairly firm grade. Within the Census margins of error for family income and poverty, Cedarville Township could be anywhere from B to A.

  • Students. 50% of residents are college students; the poverty input leaves off-campus students out (above).
  • Straight lines, older transit. Miles are as the crow flies. EPA’s walkability and transit files use 2017–20 inputs.
