About Palo
Palo is
a very small town
located in the state of
Iowa.
With a population of
1,500 people
and
just one neighborhood,
Palo is the
252nd
largest community in
Iowa.
Unlike some
towns
, Palo
isn't mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the
most prevalent occupations for people in
Palo are a mix of both
white- and blue-collar jobs.
Overall, Palo is
a town of
sales and office workers, managers,
and production and manufacturing workers.
There are especially a lot of
people living in Palo who work
in office and administrative support jobs (19.05%),
sales jobs (9.58%),
and food service (5.41%).
Also of interest is that Palo has
more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
Because of many things, Palo
is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all,
many other families with children live here, making
Palo a place where both
parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families,
as well as find family-oriented services and community. The
town's
good public school district
and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to
academic values. With regard to real estate,
Palo
has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability
in the local community.
Finally, Palo's
overall crime rate is lower than average
for the country.
Palo is a small
town, and as is often the
case with smaller towns, the population isn't large or dense enough to support
much in the way of a public transportation system. In fact, there are many
rural roads around Palo,
which makes walking or biking to and from work a bit difficult. This makes
for a very car-oriented town:
