Jefferson is a very small town located in the state of North Carolina. With a population of 1,635 people and three associated neighborhoods, Jefferson is the 333rd largest community in North Carolina.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.38% 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.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Jefferson is worth considering.
