About English

English is a tiny town located in the state of Indiana. With a population of 728 people and just one neighborhood, English is the 356th largest community in Indiana.

Because occupations involving physical labor dominate the local economy, English is generally considered to be a blue-collar town. 46.4% of the English workforce is employed in blue-collar occupations, compared to the national average of 24.7%. Overall, English is a town of sales and office workers, production and manufacturing workers, and transportation and shipping workers. There are especially a lot of people living in English who work in office and administrative support jobs (16.40%), sales jobs (14.00%), and teaching (6.40%).

One downside of living in English, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 32.56 minutes every day commuting to work.

English 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 English, which makes walking or biking to and from work a bit difficult. This makes for a very car-oriented town: 99.17% 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, English doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
