Living in Monmouth



Monmouth is a somewhat small city located in the state of Oregon. With a population of 11,274 people and three associated neighborhoods, Monmouth is the 47th largest community in Oregon.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.81% 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.

Monmouth is a place where college students are a big part of the character and culture of the town.
