Sharpes is a very small coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Florida. With a population of 3,115 people and two associated neighborhoods, Sharpes is the 331st largest community in Florida.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.44% 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.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Sharpes has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Sharpes a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
