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

It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy.

Sharpes has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Sharpes has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Sharpes than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here.
