Batavia is a very small village located in the state of Ohio. With a population of 2,026 people and nine associated neighborhoods, Batavia is the 465th largest community in Ohio.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.51% 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.
In Batavia, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 30.27 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average. One bright side is that local public transit is widely used, so it may be an option to avoid the headache of driving in the heavy traffic by leaving the car at home and taking transit.
Despite the fact that it is a small village, Batavia has quite a few people who take public transportation – mostly the bus - for their daily commute to work. This helps to fill a real need in the village for affordable transportation.
The citizens of Batavia are slightly less educated than the national average of 21.84% for the average city or town: 14.80% of adults in Batavia have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree
