Economy is a somewhat small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 8,962 people and three associated neighborhoods, Economy is the 133rd largest community in Pennsylvania.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 15.81% 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.

Because of many things, Economy is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Economy really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Economy perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.

It is a fairly quiet borough because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Economy has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Economy has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Economy than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Economy may be for you.
