Living in Seneca



Seneca is a very small town located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 1,011 people and two constituent neighborhoods, Seneca is the 829th largest community in Pennsylvania.

A relatively large number of people in Seneca telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 10.66% 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.

Seneca is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Seneca’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
