A big share show a job far from home
39% of working residents have a main job more than 50 miles away. Part of that is employers that report every worker at one head office, so not all of those trips happen daily. How far ↓

Written from the Census figures on this page. Commute flows, distances and jobs are Census LEHD 2023, primary jobs only (the self-employed aren’t counted); commute time and working from home are from the Census American Community Survey; with 422 working residents, small shifts move the shares.
The figures behind Ivanhoe’s Jobs & income grade

A fairly firm grade. Within the Census margins of error for income and poverty, Ivanhoe could be anywhere from D− to D.

About 990 people are in Ivanhoe on a workday afternoon, 28% fewer than live here.
