Leeds is a very small town located in the state of Maine. With a population of 2,291 people and just one neighborhood, Leeds is the 201st largest community in Maine.
Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Leeds is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Leeds is a town of sales and office workers, professionals, and construction workers and builders. There are especially a lot of people living in Leeds who work in sales jobs (13.07%), office and administrative support (9.68%), and healthcare (9.00%).
A relatively large number of people in Leeds telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 7.26% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. 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.
Leeds is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Leeds’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.
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, Leeds has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Leeds a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
In Leeds, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 31.88 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.
Being a small town, Leeds does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
The education level of Leeds citizens, measured as those with bachelor's degrees or advanced degrees, is similar to the national average for all American cities and towns. 20.45% of adults 25 and older in Leeds have a college degree.
The per capita income in Leeds in 2018 was $25,120, which is low income relative to Maine, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $100,480 for a family of four. However, Leeds contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
