London is a somewhat small city located in the state of Kentucky. With a population of 7,578 people and 11 associated neighborhoods, London is the 58th largest community in Kentucky.
Also of interest is that London 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: 10.95% 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.
One of the benefits of London is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 18.93 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.
The education level of London citizens, measured as those with bachelor's degrees or advanced degrees, is similar to the national average for all American cities and towns. 17.05% of adults 25 and older in London have a college degree.
The per capita income in London in 2018 was $23,777, which is middle income relative to Kentucky, and low income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $95,108 for a family of four. However, London contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
The people who call London home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of London residents report their race to be White, followed by Black or African-American. Important ancestries of people in London include Irish, English, German, European, and Scottish.
The most common language spoken in London is English. Other important languages spoken here include Polish and Spanish.
