About Coal City

Coal City is a very small town located in the state of Indiana. With a population of 1,070 people and just one neighborhood, Coal City is the 325th largest community in Indiana.

Coal City is a blue-collar town, with 53.7% of people working in blue-collar occupations, while the average in America is just 24.7%. Overall, Coal City is a town of production and manufacturing workers, transportation and shipping workers, and construction workers and builders. There are especially a lot of people living in Coal City who work in office and administrative support jobs (7.87%), sales jobs (6.30%), and personal care services (5.32%).

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their homes - 7.57% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

One downside of living in Coal City is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Coal City, the average commute to work is 36.36 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

As is often the case in a small town, Coal City doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
