Carver is a medium-sized town located in the state of Massachusetts. With a population of 11,675 people and two associated neighborhoods, Carver is the 168th largest community in Massachusetts.

Of important note, Carver is also a town of artists. Carver has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Carver’s character.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.97% 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.

Because of many things, Carver is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Carver really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Carver perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.

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, Carver has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Carver a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
