And if you like science, one thing you'll find is that Adolphus has lots of scientists living in town - whether they be life scientists, physical scientists (like astronomers), or social scientists (like geographers!). So, if you're scientific-minded, you might like it here too.
A relatively large number of people in Adolphus telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 13.84% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. 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.
Adolphus’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the nation, making it a very safe place to live.
It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Adolphus 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. Adolphus has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Adolphus than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Adolphus may be for you.
One downside of living in Adolphus is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Adolphus, the average commute to work is 34.23 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.
As is often the case in a small town, Adolphus doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
