Greentown is a somewhat small town located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 5,941 people and four associated neighborhoods, Greentown is the 254th largest community in Pennsylvania.

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

Also of interest is that Greentown has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 16.35% 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 Greentown 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, Greentown’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Because of many things, Greentown is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Greentown a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Greentown has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Greentown’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Greentown is worth considering.

One downside of living in Greentown, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 35.99 minutes every day commuting to work.

The education level of Greentown citizens is a little higher than the average for US cities and towns: 24.77% of adults in Greentown have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Greentown in 2022 was $41,052, which is upper middle income relative to Pennsylvania and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $164,208 for a family of four. However, Greentown contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
