Freedom is a very small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 1,457 people and three associated neighborhoods, Freedom is the 725th largest community in Pennsylvania. Freedom has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic boroughs.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.89% 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.
As is often the case in a small borough, Freedom doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
The rate of college-level education in Freedom is quite a bit lower than the national average among all cities of 21.84%: just 11.39% of people here over 25 have a bachelor's degree or an advanced degree.
The per capita income in Freedom in 2022 was $30,232, which is lower middle income relative to Pennsylvania and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $120,928 for a family of four. However, Freedom contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
