The commute and the jobs: Greenleaf in brief
Why Greenleaf gets the Jobs & income grade it does
On income, poverty and job access, Greenleaf is better than 61% of U.S. towns. Job access by car holds Greenleaf’s grade up (ahead of 71% of U.S. towns); the poverty rate pulls it down (11.9%, U.S. 12.5%). It also does well on household income.
Unemployment (5.5%) is left out: Greenleaf’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, Greenleaf could be anywhere from C to A.
