Lowell is a very small city located in the state of North Carolina. With a population of 3,701 people and just one neighborhood, Lowell is the 223rd largest community in North Carolina.
Unlike some cities where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Lowell is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Lowell is a city of sales and office workers, professionals, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Lowell who work in office and administrative support (16.40%), sales jobs (8.37%), and healthcare (8.25%).
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.61% 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.
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!) Lowell 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. Lowell has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Lowell than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Lowell may be for you.
As is often the case in a small city, Lowell doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
In Lowell, just 12.73% of people have at least a bachelor's degree, which is quite a bit lower than the national average for cities and towns of 21.84%.
The per capita income in Lowell in 2018 was $24,794, which is middle income relative to North Carolina, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $99,176 for a family of four. However, Lowell contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
Lowell is an extremely ethnically-diverse city. The people who call Lowell home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Lowell residents report their race to be White, followed by Black or African-American. Lowell also has a sizeable Hispanic population (people of Hispanic origin can be of any race). People of Hispanic or Latino origin account for 15.78% of the city’s residents. Important ancestries of people in Lowell include English, German, Irish, Scottish, and Dutch.
The most common language spoken in Lowell is English. Other important languages spoken here include Spanish and Vietnamese.
