Brentwood is a somewhat small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 9,704 people and two associated neighborhoods, Brentwood is the 107th largest community in Pennsylvania.

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

Of important note, Brentwood is also a borough of artists. Brentwood has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Brentwood’s character.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 19.26% 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.

One downside of living in Brentwood, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 33.46 minutes every day commuting to work. However, local public transit is widely used. For those who would prefer to avoid driving entirely and leave their car at home, it may be an option to use the transit instead.

Even though Brentwood is a smaller borough, it has many people who hop on public transportation – mostly the bus for their daily commute to work. Typically, these people are commuting to good jobs in the surrounding cities.
