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; a jump in jobs can partly be a big employer changing how it reports its locations.
The figures behind Suamico’s Jobs & income grade
On income, poverty, unemployment and job access, Suamico is better than 94% of U.S. towns, #72 of 362 in Wisconsin. The poverty rate is its strongest input (2.5%, U.S. 12.5%); job access by car ranks lowest, though still above most U.S. towns (ahead of 71% of U.S. towns). It also does well on household income and unemployment and job access by car.
A fairly firm grade. Within the Census margins of error for income, poverty and unemployment, Suamico could be anywhere from A− to A+.
