Also of interest is that Millburn has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
Of important note, Millburn is also a town of artists. Millburn has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Millburn’s character.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 27.84% 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, Millburn 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.
Because of many things, Millburn is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Millburn a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Millburn has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Millburn’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
One downside of living in Millburn is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Millburn, the average commute to work is 39.42 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average. On the other hand, local public transit is widely used in the town, so leaving the car at home and taking transit is often a viable alternative. In addition, it is also a pedestrian-friendly town. Many of Millburn’s neighborhoods are dense enough and have amenities close enough together that people find it feasible to get around on foot.
Despite being a small town, Millburn has a lot of people using the train to get to and from work every day. Most of these people on the train are using it to get to good jobs in other cities.
