Clara is a tiny town located in the state of Mississippi. With a population of 386 people and just one neighborhood, Clara is the 237th largest community in Mississippi.
Clara is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 100.00% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Clara is a town of sales and office workers, professionals, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Clara who work in office and administrative support (33.90%), sales jobs (23.29%), and teaching (15.07%).
Because of many things, Clara 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, Clara really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Clara perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, 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.
The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Clara has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Clara a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
Residents of the town have the good fortune of having one of the shortest daily commutes compared to the rest of the country. On average, they spend only 19.14 minutes getting to work every day.
Clara is very much a car-oriented town. This is because the population of Clara 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. 100.00% 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, Clara doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
Do you like to read, write and learn? If you move to Clara, you'll likely find that many of your neighbors like to as well. Clara is one of the more educated communities in America, with a full 76.24% of its adults having a college degree or even advanced degree, compared to a national average across all communities of 21.84%.
The per capita income in Clara in 2018 was $29,830, which is wealthy relative to Mississippi, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $119,320 for a family of four. However, Clara contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
The people who call Clara home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Clara residents report their race to be White. Important ancestries of people in Clara include Irish, English, British, Yugoslavian, and Other West Indian.
The most common language spoken in Clara is English. Other important languages spoken here include African languages and Arabic.
