Brentwood is a somewhat small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 9,822 people and two associated neighborhoods, Brentwood is the 107th largest community in Pennsylvania.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 15.56% 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.

In Brentwood, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 32.83 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average. One bright side is that local public transit is widely used, so it may be an option to avoid the headache of driving in the heavy traffic by leaving the car at home and taking transit.
