About Silver Spring

Silver Spring is a larger medium-sized town located in the state of Maryland. With a population of 76,725 people and 26 constituent neighborhoods, Silver Spring is the third largest community in Maryland.

Silver Spring is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 86.67% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Silver Spring is a town of professionals, sales and office workers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Silver Spring who work in office and administrative support jobs (11.65%), management occupations (11.25%), and sales jobs (7.66%).

Also of interest is that Silver Spring has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

Of important note, Silver Spring is also a town of artists. Silver Spring has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Silver Spring's character.

One thing noticeable about Silver Spring, although not a huge town, is that it has a large population of people who are young, single, educated, and upwardly-mobile career starters. That's because Silver Spring is full of single people in their 20s and 30s and who have undergraduate or graduate degrees and are starting careers in professional occupations. This makes Silver Spring a pretty good place for young, educated career starters looking to find many people like themselves, with good opportunities for friendships, socializing, romance, and fun.

In addition to being popular with young singles, Silver Spring is also home to many people who can be described as "urban sophisticates." While both of these categories describe educated professionals, urban sophisticates are quite a different demographic. Urban sophisticates are people who are both educated and wealthy, and thus tend to be older, richer, and more established than young professionals. "Urban sophisticates" is not just about being educated and well-off financially: it is a point of view and state of mind, one that you might call 'urbaneness.' But such people can and do regularly live in small towns, suburbs and rural areas, as well as in big cities. They read, support the arts and high-end shops, and love travel.

One downside of living in Silver Spring, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 33.60 minutes every day commuting to work.
