Living in Sewell



Sewell is a very small town located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 3,346 people and ten associated neighborhoods, Sewell is the 370th largest community in New Jersey.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.56% 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.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Sewell has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Sewell a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

One downside of living in Sewell, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 30.99 minutes every day commuting to work.
