Cornelius is a somewhat small town located in the state of North Carolina. With a population of 13,540 people and just one neighborhood, Cornelius is the 70th largest community in North Carolina.
Cornelius is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 88.67% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Cornelius is a town of sales and office workers, managers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Cornelius who work in management occupations (19.19%), sales jobs (17.78%), and office and administrative support jobs (11.32%).
Also of interest is that Cornelius has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their homes - 8.70% 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.
Cornelius, while not large, also appears to be attractive to some younger, educated professionals, who help shape the character of the town.
In Cornelius, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 34.05 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.
Cornelius is a very car-oriented town. This is because most people - 97.5% - drive by car to work every day, and few people choose alternative modes of transportation, such as public transit, cycling, or walking. In general, car-oriented communities have a layout that emphasizes streets, highways, and ease of parking, and sometimes this can be to the detriment of human-scale priorities such as walkability alongside roads, and public spaces. For example, strip malls are something you will find in Cornelius.
Cornelius 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.
If knowledge is power, Cornelius is a pretty powerful place. 51.00% of the adults in Cornelius have earned a 4-year college degree, masters degree, MD, law degree, or even PhD. Compare that to the national average of 14.96% for all cities and towns.
The per capita income in Cornelius in 2000 was $46,737, which is wealthy relative to North Carolina and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $186,948 for a family of four. However, Cornelius contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
