Living in McClure



McClure is a tiny borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 883 people and two associated neighborhoods, McClure is the 855th largest community in Pennsylvania. Much of the housing stock in McClure was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic boroughs in the country.

Also of interest is that McClure 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: 7.46% 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.

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!) McClure 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. McClure has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in McClure than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, McClure may be for you.

One downside of living in McClure, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 31.58 minutes every day commuting to work.

The citizens of McClure have a very low rate of college education: just 8.76% of people over 25 have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree, compared to a national average of 21.84% for all cities.

The per capita income in McClure in 2022 was $24,810, which is low income relative to Pennsylvania, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $99,240 for a family of four. However, McClure contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
