Justice is a medium-sized village located in the state of Illinois. With a population of 12,267 people and three associated neighborhoods, Justice is the 191st largest community in Illinois.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.01% 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.
One downside of living in Justice, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 32.68 minutes every day commuting to work. However, local public transit is widely used. For those who would prefer to avoid driving entirely and leave their car at home, it may be an option to use the transit instead.
For a small village, Justice has a lot of people who use public transit to get to work, and those that do mostly ride the bus. This suggests that a real need for low-cost transportation in Justice exists, and local transit is helping to meet that need.
The population of Justice overall has a level of education that is slightly above the US average for all US cities and towns of 21.84%. Of adults 25 and older in Justice, 21.01% have at least a bachelor's degree.
The per capita income in Justice in 2022 was $32,113, which is lower middle income relative to Illinois and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $128,452 for a family of four. However, Justice contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
