What’s behind Kellyville’s civic life grade
On library visits, community nonprofits and volunteering, Kellyville is ahead of 42% of U.S. towns. The share of younger adults in volunteering groups holds the grade up; Kellyville’s count of community nonprofits pulls it down.
Most U.S. towns with similar household incomes ($40K–$67K) score higher, so income alone doesn’t account for it.
Civic life counts registered nonprofits, library visits and online volunteering groups, so it can miss civic life that runs through congregations, mutual aid or neighbors looking out for each other.
