One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.41% of the workforce.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

One of the nice things about DuPont is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays.
