Edinboro profile


Living in Edinboro



Edinboro is a very small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 4,735 people and two associated neighborhoods, Edinboro is the 307th largest community in Pennsylvania.

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

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.80% 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.

Edinboro is a small town where college students really create the town feel and character. So many small towns have lost population over the last 20-30 years that having the local college presence in the Edinboro area, with all of the energy of the students filling area dorms and apartments each fall, really helps Edinboro maintain a good economy.

For a small borough, there is also a high proportion of single, often educated, people living in Edinboro. This is not typical for smaller communities in America, and adds a feeling of vibrancy to Edinboro.

One of the benefits of Edinboro is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 18.90 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.
