Greenwich is a very small village located in the state of New York. With a population of 1,667 people and two associated neighborhoods, Greenwich is the 654th largest community in New York. Greenwich has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic villages.
Of important note, Greenwich is also a village of artists. Greenwich has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Greenwich’s character.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 13.90% 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.
Being a small village, Greenwich does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
