Also of interest is that Mico has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
A relatively large number of people in Mico telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 19.23% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. 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 addition, Mico is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates". Urban sophisticates are educated, wealthy, executives and professionals, who have urbane tastes in books, food, and travel, whether they actually live in a big city, or choose to reside in a small town. In big or medium-sized cities, urban sophisticates tend to frequent art institutions such as opera, symphonies, ballet, live theatre, and museums.
Mico is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Mico’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.
In Mico, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 39.14 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.
As is often the case in a small town, Mico doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
