Seville’s Jobs & income grade, measure by measure
On income, poverty and job access, Seville is better than 69% of U.S. towns. Job access by car is its strongest input (ahead of 79% of U.S. towns); household income ranks lowest, though still above most U.S. towns ($76,938, U.S. $80,734). It also does well on household income and the poverty rate.
Unemployment (2.9%) is left out: Seville’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, Seville could be anywhere from B− to A.
