individuals in their 40s and 50s. The number of single-parent families and households with
five or more persons ranks high, and overall household size is somewhat above average as
well. Median household income is only slightly under the national average, though
education levels are uniformly low. This is the number one segment for protective service
occupations. The use of public transportation is double the national average and car
pooling is the primary transportation for a significant number of workers. |
