Oxford is a medium-sized town located in the state of Connecticut. With a population of 13,264 people and two associated neighborhoods, Oxford is the 84th largest community in Connecticut.

Housing costs in Oxford are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in Connecticut.

Also of interest is that Oxford has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 14.37% 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.

Oxford is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Oxford’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.

One downside of living in Oxford is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Oxford, the average commute to work is 30.66 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

Oxford is one of the most well-educated cities in the nation. 46.33% of adults in Oxford have at least a bachelor's degree. Compare that to the average community in America, which has just 21.84% with a bachelor's degree or higher.
