One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.24% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. 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.

Because of many things, Philpot is a very good place for families to consider.

Is Philpot perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea.
