Roswell is a larger medium-sized city located in the state of Georgia. With a population of 79,844 people and ten constituent neighborhoods, Roswell is the eighth largest community in Georgia.

Roswell is a decidedly white-collar city, with fully 88.80% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Roswell is a city of sales and office workers, managers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Roswell who work in sales jobs (17.21%), management occupations (15.71%), and office and administrative support jobs (13.02%).

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

Another interesting thing about Roswell, despite not being a huge city, is that there is a relatively high proportion of people living here who are young, single, and upwardly-mobile professionals. This makes it a good choice for other relocating single professionals. Here, these young singles will find many others like themselves, with opportunities for friendships, socializing, romance, and fun.

In addition to being popular with young singles, Roswell is also home to many people who can be described as "urban sophisticates." While both of these categories describe educated professionals, urban sophisticates are quite a different demographic. Urban sophisticates are people who are both educated and wealthy, and thus tend to be older, richer, and more established than young professionals. "Urban sophisticates" is not just about being educated and well-off financially: it is a point of view and state of mind, one that you might call 'urbaneness.' But such people can and do regularly live in small towns, suburbs and rural areas, as well as in big cities. They read, support the arts and high-end shops, and love travel.

One downside of living in Roswell, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 31.18 minutes every day commuting to work. However, local public transit is widely used. For those who would prefer to avoid driving entirely and leave their car at home, it may be an option to use the transit instead.

Like elsewhere in America, most people in Roswell use a private automobile to get to work. But notably, a substantial number of Roswell's citizens do make use of public transit in their daily commute, primarily riding the bus. This helps more people get to work with less air pollution, and require fewer highways to get them there.
