Darlington is a tiny town located in the state of Maryland. With a population of 398 people and two associated neighborhoods, Darlington is the 259th largest community in Maryland.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.38% 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 addition, Darlington is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates". Urban sophisticates are educated, wealthy, executives and professionals, who have urbane tastes in books, food, and travel, whether they actually live in a big city, or choose to reside in a small town. In big or medium-sized cities, urban sophisticates tend to frequent art institutions such as opera, symphonies, ballet, live theatre, and museums.

It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Darlington has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Darlington has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Darlington than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Darlington may be for you.

Darlington is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.

The overall education level of Darlington citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 33.45% of adults in Darlington have at least a bachelor's degree, and the average American community has 21.84%.
