Englewood at work: what stands out
Income, poverty and work: Englewood’s grade explained
On income, poverty, unemployment and job access, Englewood is better than 76% of U.S. towns, #319 of 992 in Ohio. Job access by car is its strongest input (ahead of 78% of U.S. towns); household income ranks lowest, though still above most U.S. towns ($80,030, U.S. $80,734). It also does well on household income and the poverty rate and unemployment.
A fairly firm grade. Within the Census margins of error for income, poverty and unemployment, Englewood could be anywhere from B− to A.
