Bowling Green is a medium-sized city located in the state of Ohio. With a population of 29,647 people and seven associated neighborhoods, Bowling Green is the 50th largest community in Ohio.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.52% 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.

Bowling Green is also a major college town with a large number of people who are 18 years or older and attending college. As is often the case in college towns, the many students that live in Bowling Green have a strong influence on the local culture and entertainment scene, which may seem dormant by comparison in the summer months when much of the student population is away. In the fall, the return of students has a reinvigorating effect on the community. Because colleges are lasting institutions, they have a stabilizing effect on the economy by providing direct local benefits such as jobs for faculty and staff and spending by students. Bowling Green’s economy is one such example of this.
