Albany is a very small town located in the state of Indiana. With a population of 2,282 people and just one neighborhood, Albany is the 221st largest community in Indiana.
Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Albany is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Albany is a town of service providers, professionals, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Albany who work in office and administrative support (11.60%), management occupations (11.39%), and healthcare (6.77%).
Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 7.74% 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.
The overall crime rate in Albany is one of the lowest in the US. This makes it one of the safer places to live in the country in terms of crime.
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!) Albany 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. Albany has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Albany than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Albany may be for you.
As is often the case in a small town, Albany doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
In terms of college education, Albany is nearly on par with the US average for all cities of 21.84%: 18.21% of adults 25 and older in Albany have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.
