About Cohasset

Cohasset is a somewhat small coastal town (ie. on the ocean or tidally-influenced rivers) located in the state of Massachusetts. With a population of 7,261 people and just one neighborhood, Cohasset is the 217th largest community in Massachusetts. Much of the housing stock in Cohasset was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic towns in the country.

Cohasset is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 92.90% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Cohasset is a town of managers, professionals, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Cohasset who work in management occupations (19.01%), sales jobs (16.30%), and office and administrative support jobs (10.74%).

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their homes - 8.32% 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.

In addition, Cohasset is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates," which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.

Cohasset 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, Cohasset's overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

The town is also nautical, which means that parts of Cohasset are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers. Quite often, nautical areas such as these attract visitors and locals who come to enjoy the scenery and various waterfront activities.

One downside of living in Cohasset, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 34.74 minutes every day commuting to work.

Cohasset is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
