Presque Isle is a somewhat small city located in the state of Maine. With a population of 8,678 people and three associated neighborhoods, Presque Isle is the 29th largest community in Maine.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.92% 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 Presque Isle is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 14.30 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.

As is often the case in a small city, Presque Isle doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The percentage of people in Presque Isle who are college-educated is somewhat higher than the average US community of 21.84%: 25.46% of adults in Presque Isle have at least a bachelor's degree.
