Smyrna is a somewhat small town located in the state of Delaware. With a population of 13,294 people and six associated neighborhoods, Smyrna is the seventh largest community in Delaware. Smyrna has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Smyrna, where the median household income is $68,260.00.

A relatively large number of people in Smyrna telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 7.60% of the workforce works from home.
