About Moody

Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Moody is neither predominently one or the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Moody is a town of sales and office workers, construction workers and builders, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Moody who work in office and administrative support jobs (20.61%), sales jobs (10.65%), and management occupations (7.49%).

Moody is very much a car-oriented town. This is because the population of Moody 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. 99.6% 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.

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