A relatively large number of people in Chichester telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 18.16% 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.
Because of many things, Chichester is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Chichester 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, Chichester has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Chichester’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
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!) Chichester 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. Chichester has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Chichester than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Chichester may be for you.
In Chichester, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 30.70 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average. One bright side is that local public transit is widely used, so it may be an option to avoid the headache of driving in the heavy traffic by leaving the car at home and taking transit.
In Chichester, a lot of people use the bus to get to work every day though Chichester is a relatively small town. Those that ride the bus are primarily traveling out of town to good jobs in other cities.
