Yoe and work: the main findings
What drives the Jobs & income grade in Yoe
On income, poverty and job access, Yoe is better than 47% of U.S. towns. Job access by car holds Yoe’s grade up (ahead of 74% of U.S. towns); household income pulls it down ($58,750, U.S. $80,734).
Unemployment (4.7%) is left out: Yoe’s labor force is under 1,000, too few workers for a steady figure.
A rough placement. Within the Census margins of error for income and poverty, Yoe could be anywhere from C− to A−.
Yoe quiets down on a workday
On a workday 521 residents head out to work, none work right here, and 63 people come in from elsewhere.
About 600 people are in Yoe on a workday afternoon, 43% fewer than live here.
Workday population = residents − those who work elsewhere + those who come in (the Census “commuter-adjusted” method). Residents: Census survey; commuters: LEHD 2023, primary jobs.

Where in the region Yoe works
About 16% show a job over 50 miles away. Some of that is real, and some is employers that report every worker at a head office, so a few long commutes are on paper only.
