Emerson is a very small city located in the state of Georgia. With a population of 1,596 people and just one neighborhood, Emerson is the 284th largest community in Georgia. Much of the housing stock in Emerson was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Emerson economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Emerson, where the median household income is $55,625.00.
Unlike some cities, Emerson isn’t mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Emerson are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Emerson is a city of managers, sales and office workers, and construction workers and builders. There are especially a lot of people living in Emerson who work in management occupations (17.98%), office and administrative support (13.76%), and teaching (7.08%).
Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 11.94% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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 city 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!) Emerson 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. Emerson has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Emerson than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Emerson may be for you.
One downside of living in Emerson is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Emerson, the average commute to work is 32.15 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.
