Living in Danville



Danville is a medium-sized city located in the state of Illinois. With a population of 28,472 people and 13 associated neighborhoods, Danville is the 69th largest community in Illinois. Danville has a large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic cities in the country.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.63% 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 Danville is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 16.10 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.

The per capita income in Danville in 2018 was $24,786, which is low income relative to Illinois, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $99,144 for a family of four. However, Danville contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
