Manchester is a very small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 2,823 people and two associated neighborhoods, Manchester is the 525th largest community in Pennsylvania.
Also of interest is that Manchester 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: 13.66% 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 Manchester, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 32.27 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.
As is often the case in a small borough, Manchester doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
