One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 16.04% 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.
It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Hudson has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Hudson has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Hudson than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Hudson may be for you.
One of the nice things about Hudson is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.
