Employment & Commuting Trends

Household incomes in Nizza Di Sicilia average 20% below the national median and lag behind other parts of Walker County. A striking feature is the reliance on public transit—usage rates here far exceed U.S. norms. However, commutes are lengthy: fewer residents reach workplaces within 30 minutes, with most taking 20–45 minutes. This suggests either limited local job opportunities or underdeveloped transportation infrastructure.
