About Freetown
Freetown is a somewhat small coastal town (ie. on the ocean or tidally-influenced rivers) located in the state of Massachusetts. With a population of 8,472 people and just one neighborhood, Freetown is the 192nd largest community in Massachusetts.
Freetown is neither predominently blue-collar or white-collar, instead having a mixed workforce of both blue-collar and white-collar jobs. Overall, Freetown is a town of sales and office workers, professionals, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Freetown who work in office and administrative support jobs (13.42%), sales jobs (11.09%), and management occupations (8.84%).
Freetown 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, Freetown's overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
The town is also nautical, which means that parts of Freetown 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.
Freetown is a very car-oriented town. 96.75% of residents commute to work in a private automobile rather than by other means, such as public transit, bicycling, or walking. This is because Freetown is a small town, and most people who live here have to drive out of town for work, and the town population is not large nor dense enough to support an extensive public transportation system. Freetown has a lot of rural roads, and houses can be far apart. Many residents drive out of town for regular shopping trips as well.
Being a small town, Freetown does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
