About Queens

Queens is an enormous coastal borough (ie. on the ocean or tidally-influenced rivers) located in the state of New York. With a population of 2,229,379 people and 672 constituent neighborhoods, Queens is the second largest community in New York.

Queens is neither predominently blue-collar or white-collar, instead having a mixed workforce of both blue-collar and white-collar jobs. Overall, Queens is a borough of sales and office workers, service providers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Queens who work in office and administrative support jobs (18.19%), sales jobs (10.66%), and management occupations (7.31%).

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

One of the nice things about Queens is that is it nautical, meaning that parts of the borough are somewhat historic and on the ocean, or touch tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.

One downside of living in Queens, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 42.20 minutes every day commuting to work. However, local public transit is widely used. For those who would prefer to avoid driving entirely and leave their car at home, it may be an option to use the transit instead.

Queens, like many big cities in America, has a public transportation system, but the citizens of Queens are lucky because theirs is one of the most extensive and widely used. Many commuters choose to leave their cars at home and instead use the subway to get to and from work. In fact, for some people it is feasible to forgo car ownership entirely, avoiding the cost and headache of driving in heavy traffic. The benefits include reduced air pollution and load on the road network.
