About Scotland

Scotland is a very small town located in the state of Connecticut. With a population of 1,722 people and just one neighborhood, Scotland is the 163rd largest community in Connecticut.

Unlike some towns, Scotland isn’t mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Scotland are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Scotland is a town of sales and office workers, service providers and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Scotland who work in office and administrative support (14.32%), sales jobs (9.23%) and management occupations (8.48%).

Also of interest is that Scotland has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

Because of many things, Scotland is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Scotland a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Scotland has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Scotland’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.

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

In Scotland, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 30.85 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.

Being a small town, Scotland does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

Scotland Information and Demographics

The percentage of adults in Scotland who are college-educated is close to the national average for all communities of 21.84%: 20.97% of the adults in Scotland have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.

The per capita income in Scotland in 2010 was $29,371, which is low income relative to Connecticut, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $117,484 for a family of four. However, Scotland contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

The people who call Scotland home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Scotland residents report their race to be White, followed by Black or African-American. Important ancestries of people in Scotland include Irish, French Canadian, French, German, English and Italian.

The most common language spoken in Scotland is English.
