Living in Milton



Milton is a somewhat small town located in the state of Vermont. With a population of 10,689 people and three associated neighborhoods, Milton is the eighth largest community in Vermont.

Of important note, Milton is also a town of artists. Milton has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Milton’s character.

Also of interest is that Milton has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.34% 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.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Milton is worth considering.

In Milton, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 30.56 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.

The overall education level of Milton citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 31.42% of adults in Milton have at least a bachelor's degree, and the average American community has 21.84%.
