Naples is a very small town located in the state of Maine. With a population of 3,971 people and two associated neighborhoods, Naples is the 109th largest community in Maine.Naples is neither predominantly blue-collar nor white-collar, instead having a mixed workforce of both blue-collar and white-collar jobs. Overall, Naples is a town of sales and office workers, professionals, and construction workers and builders. There are especially a lot of people living in Naples who work in sales jobs (21.70%), healthcare (8.48%), and management occupations (8.48%). Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 17.59% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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. Another notable thing is that Naples is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends.

During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live. It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy.

Naples 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.
