Naples is a very small town located in the state of Maine. With a population of 3,971 people and two associated neighborhoods, Naples is the 109th largest community in Maine.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 17.59% 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.
Another notable thing is that Naples is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Naples’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter 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, 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.
In Naples, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 37.69 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.
Being a small town, Naples does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
The overall education level of Naples citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 32.26% of adults in Naples have at least a bachelor's degree, and the average American community has 21.84%.
The per capita income in Naples in 2022 was $42,001, which is upper middle income relative to Maine and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $168,004 for a family of four. However, Naples contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
