About Boxborough
Boxborough is
a very small town
located in the state of
Massachusetts.
With a population of
4,868 people
and
just one neighborhood,
Boxborough is the
254th
largest community in
Massachusetts.
Boxborough is a decidedly
white-collar town, with
fully 92.69% of the workforce
employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average.
Overall, Boxborough is
a town of
professionals, managers,
and sales and office workers.
There are especially a lot of
people living in Boxborough who work
in management occupations (16.86%),
computer science and math (14.70%),
and sales jobs (11.88%).
Also of interest is that Boxborough has
more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
For a small town, there is also a
high proportion of single, often educated, people living in
Boxborough. This is not typical for
most smaller communities in America, and adds a feeling of
vibrancy to Boxborough.
In addition to being popular with young singles,
Boxborough 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.
In Boxborough, however, the average commute to
work is quite long. On average, people spend 31.70
minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than
the national average.
As is often the case in a small town,
Boxborough doesn't have a public
transportation system that people use for their commute.
