Living in Cincinnati



Cincinnati is a large city located in the state of Ohio. With a population of 309,513 people and 169 associated neighborhoods, Cincinnati is the third largest community in Ohio. Cincinnati has a large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic cities in the country.

Also of interest is that Cincinnati has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.54% 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.

Cincinnati is one of the most attractive larger cities for people who are young, single, educated, and upwardly-mobile career starters.

Although Cincinnati is a large city, this demographic is significant enough that young professionals will find many others like themselves here, with really good opportunities for friendships, recreation, romance, and more.

If you ask these commuters, many will tell you that not having to drive in the snarl of big city traffic is one of main reasons for leaving the car at home, or even not owning a car at all. With so many people taking the bus Cincinnati benefits from a reduction in air pollution and traffic.
