Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing, with others in shops, restaurants, hotels and entertainment.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Warren County and the Bowling Green, KY metro.
