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

In addition, Woodbridge 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, Woodbridge is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Woodbridge a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town's good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Woodbridge has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Woodbridge's overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

Woodbridge is very much a car-oriented town. This is because the population of Woodbridge isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 97.9% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town). People also tend to drive out of town for other services as well, such as shopping, doctors appointments, and more.

Woodbridge is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
