About Allentown
Allentown is a tiny town located in the state of Georgia. With a population of 263 people and just one neighborhood, Allentown is the 448th largest community in Georgia.
Because occupations involving physical labor dominate the local economy, Allentown is generally considered to be a blue-collar town. 39.8% of the Allentown workforce is employed in blue-collar occupations, compared to the national average of 24.7%. Overall, Allentown is a town of professionals, sales and office workers, and construction workers and builders. There are especially a lot of people living in Allentown who work in office and administrative support jobs (15.05%), teaching (9.68%), and management occupations (5.38%).
Another important characteristic of Allentown is that a lot of people work in agricultural jobs, especially compared to most other communities in America, and there are quite a number of farms in town.
Allentown is very much a car-oriented town. This is because the population of Allentown isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 97.56% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town). People also tend to drive out of town for other services as well, such as shopping, doctors appointments, and more.
As is often the case in a small town, Allentown doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
