Swisher is a very small town located in the state of Iowa. With a population of 2,856 people and just one neighborhood, Swisher is the 145th largest community in Iowa.

Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Swisher is neither predominently one or the other.

There are especially a lot of people living in Swisher who work in office and administrative support jobs (13.35%), management occupations (11.45%), and sales jobs (9.19%).

Swisher is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town's good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Swisher's overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.

Swisher is very much a car-oriented town. This is because the population of Swisher isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 97.9% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town). People also tend to drive out of town for other services as well, such as shopping, doctors appointments, and more.

Swisher is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
