One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 25.00% 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.

In addition, Accord is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates". Urban sophisticates are people who are both educated and wealthy, and thus tend to be older, richer, and more established than young professionals.

But such people can and do regularly live in small towns, suburbs and rural areas, as well as in big cities. They read, support the arts and high-end shops, and love travel.

It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy.

Accord has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Accord has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Accord than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here.
