The four measures behind Rose Township’s grade
On income, poverty and job access, Rose Township is better than 60% of U.S. towns. Household income holds Rose Township’s grade up ($89,250, U.S. $80,734); job access by car pulls it down (ahead of 44% of U.S. towns). It also does well on the poverty rate.
Unemployment (2.9%) is left out: Rose Township’s labor force is under 1,000, too few workers for a steady figure.
