About Philadelphia

Philadelphia is a very large coastal city (ie. on the ocean or tidally-influenced rivers) located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 1,517,550 people and 365 constituent neighborhoods, Philadelphia is the largest community in Pennsylvania.

Unlike some cities where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Philadelphia is neither predominently one or the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Philadelphia is a city of sales and office workers, professionals, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Philadelphia who work in office and administrative support jobs (20.02%), sales jobs (9.60%), and management occupations (6.00%).

The city is also nautical, which means that parts of Philadelphia are somewhat historic and bounded by the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.

In Philadelphia, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 32.01 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average. However, the city is also quite pedestrian-friendly, because many neighborhoods are very dense and have amenities close enough together that people find it feasible to get around on foot.

Philadelphia Information and Demographics

The education level of Philadelphia citizens is a little higher than the average for US cities and towns: 17.87% of adults in Philadelphia have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Philadelphia in 2000 was $16,509, which is lower middle income relative to Pennsylvania and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $66,036 for a family of four.

Philadelphia is an extremely ethnically-diverse city. The people who call Philadelphia home come from a variety of different races and ancestries. The most prevalent race in Philadelphia is White, followed by African-American. Important ancestries of people in Philadelphia include Irish, Italian, German, and Polish.

The most common language spoken in Philadelphia is English. Some people also speak Spanish.
