Windsor is a very small coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of North Carolina. With a population of 3,268 people and two associated neighborhoods, Windsor is the 227th largest community in North Carolina.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.27% 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.

Windsor is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.

As is often the case in a small town, Windsor doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The rate of college-level education in Windsor is quite a bit lower than the national average among all cities of 21.84%: just 11.97% of people here over 25 have a bachelor's degree or an advanced degree.

The per capita income in Windsor in 2022 was $16,979, which is low income relative to North Carolina and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $67,916 for a family of four. However, Windsor contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
