Davenport is a medium-sized city located in the state of Florida. With a population of 16,764 people and 11 associated neighborhoods, Davenport is the 222nd largest community in Florida. Much of the housing stock in Davenport was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Davenport economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Davenport, where the median household income is $73,685.00.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 13.12% 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.
