Living in Oxford



Oxford is a somewhat small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 5,845 people and six constituent neighborhoods, Oxford is the 256th largest community in Pennsylvania.

Oxford real estate is some of the most expensive in Pennsylvania, although Oxford house values don't compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.20% 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.

The per capita income in Oxford in 2018 was $27,275, which is lower middle income relative to Pennsylvania, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $109,100 for a family of four. However, Oxford contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
