Jamestown is a very small town located in the state of North Carolina. With a population of 3,773 people and two associated neighborhoods, Jamestown is the 222nd largest community in North Carolina.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 14.84% 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.
One of the benefits of Jamestown is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 16.94 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.
Being a small town, Jamestown does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
If knowledge is power, Jamestown is a pretty powerful place. 51.82% of the adults in Jamestown have earned a 4-year college degree, masters degree, MD, law degree, or even PhD. Compare that to the national average of 21.84% for all cities and towns.
The per capita income in Jamestown in 2022 was $53,013, which is wealthy relative to North Carolina and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $212,052 for a family of four.
