Living in Waldorf



Waldorf is a larger medium-sized town located in the state of Maryland. With a population of 81,410 people and 16 associated neighborhoods, Waldorf is the fourth largest community in Maryland.

Also of interest is that Waldorf has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.48% 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 downside of living in Waldorf, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 40.64 minutes every day commuting to work. However, local public transit is widely used. For those who would prefer to avoid driving entirely and leave their car at home, it may be an option to use the transit instead.

Although the majority of commuting trips in the town are by private automobile, Waldorf is somewhat unusual for a town of its size for having a substantial number of people who use public transportation. For a lot of people, the bus helps to get to and from their jobs every morning, which benefits everyone in the Waldorf area by reducing both traffic and air pollution.

In terms of college education, Waldorf is substantially better educated than the typical community in the nation, which has 21.84% of the adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree: 32.40% of adults in Waldorf have a college degree.

The per capita income in Waldorf in 2018 was $46,663, which is middle income relative to Maryland, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $186,652 for a family of four. However, Waldorf contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

Waldorf is an extremely ethnically-diverse town. The people who call Waldorf home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Waldorf residents report their race to be Black or African-American, followed by White. Important ancestries of people in Waldorf include German, English, Irish, Italian, and African.
