Living in Quantico



Quantico is a tiny town located in the state of Virginia. With a population of 580 people and two associated neighborhoods, Quantico is the 322nd largest community in Virginia.

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

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 13.65% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

In Quantico, the average commute to work is 30.32 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

Many of Quantico’s neighborhoods are dense enough and have amenities close enough together that people find it feasible to get around on foot.

For a small town, Quantico has a lot of people who use public transit to get to work, and those that do mostly ride taxis. This suggests that a real need for low-cost transportation in Quantico exists, and local transit is helping to meet that need.
