Lebanon is a very small borough located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 1,672 people and two associated neighborhoods, Lebanon is the 445th largest community in New Jersey. Lebanon has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Lebanon, where the median household income is $106,389.00.
Also of interest is that Lebanon has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
A relatively large number of people in Lebanon telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 26.08% 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.
One downside of living in Lebanon, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 34.65 minutes every day commuting to work.
