Overall, Avonia is a town of managers, professionals, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Avonia who work in management occupations (19.07%), teaching (14.11%), and sales jobs (9.61%).

Also of interest is that Avonia has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

In addition, Avonia is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates," which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.

Because of many things, Avonia is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Avonia really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Avonia perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic night life, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.

Avonia 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 Avonia, which makes walking or biking to and from work a bit difficult. This makes for a very car-oriented town: 98.65% of residents commute to work by private automobile, and people often drive out of town for work, shopping, and other activities.

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