Sudbury is a somewhat small town located in the state of Massachusetts. With a population of 16,841 people and three constituent neighborhoods, Sudbury is the 110th largest community in Massachusetts.

Sudbury is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 93.90% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Sudbury is a town of professionals, managers, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Sudbury who work in management occupations (22.25%), business and financial occupations (10.86%), and sales jobs (10.71%).

In addition, Sudbury 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.

Because of many things, Sudbury 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, Sudbury really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Sudbury 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 Sudbury, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 33.23 minutes every day commuting to work.

Being a small town, Sudbury does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
