About Gloucester
Gloucester is
a somewhat small coastal town (ie. on the ocean or tidally-influenced rivers)
located in the state of
Virginia.
With a population of
19,184 people
and
just one neighborhood,
Gloucester is the
52nd
largest community in
Virginia.
Unlike some
towns
where white-collar or blue-collar
occupations dominate the local economy,
Gloucester
is neither predominently one or the other.
Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs.
Overall, Gloucester is
a town of
sales and office workers, professionals,
and construction workers and builders.
There are especially a lot of
people living in Gloucester who work
in office and administrative support jobs (13.08%),
sales jobs (10.24%),
and management occupations (8.02%).
One of the nice things about Gloucester
is that is it nautical, meaning that parts of the town
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
Gloucester, however, is that
residents on average have to contend with a long commute,
spending on average
37.08 minutes
every day commuting to work.
