Naples is a very small town located in the state of Maine. With a population of 3,985 people and two associated neighborhoods, Naples is the 109th largest community in Maine.Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Naples is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Naples is a town of sales and office workers, professionals, and construction workers and builders. There are especially a lot of people living in Naples who work in sales jobs (19.79%), management occupations (7.77%), and office and administrative support (7.73%). Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 21.39% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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. Another notable thing is that Naples is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town. The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Naples has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Naples a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here. One downside of living in Naples is that it can take a long time to commute to work.

The per capita income in Naples in 2022 was $43,316, which is upper middle income relative to Maine and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $173,264 for a family of four.
