Woodstock is a somewhat small town located in the state of Connecticut. With a population of 8,346 people and two associated neighborhoods, Woodstock is the 110th largest community in Connecticut.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.50% 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.
Woodstock is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families.

Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Woodstock’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.
