Harvard is a somewhat small town located in the state of Massachusetts. With a population of 5,981 people and two constituent neighborhoods, Harvard is the 237th largest community in Massachusetts.
Harvard is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 93.82% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Harvard is a town of professionals, managers, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Harvard who work in management occupations (21.25%), computer science and math (9.28%), and teaching (8.52%).
Also of interest is that Harvard has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
And if you like science, one thing you'll find is that Harvard has lots of scientists living in town - whether they be life scientists, physical scientists (like astronomers), or social scientists (like geographers!). So, if you're scientific-minded, you might like it here too.
Of important note, Harvard is also a town of artists. Harvard has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Harvard's character.
Because of many things, Harvard is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Harvard really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Harvard perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic night life, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
One downside of living in Harvard, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 32.25 minutes every day commuting to work.
As is often the case in a small town, Harvard doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
Do you have a 4-year college degree or graduate degree? If so, you may feel right at home in Harvard. 65.10% of adults here have a 4-year degree or graduate degree, whereas the national average for all cities and towns is just 14.96%.
The per capita income in Harvard in 2000 was $40,867, which is wealthy relative to Massachusetts and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $163,468 for a family of four. However, Harvard contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
