Accord is a tiny town located in the state of New York. With a population of 573 people and two associated neighborhoods, Accord is the 857th largest community in New York.
Also of interest is that Accord 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: 29.38% 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.
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, Accord is worth considering.
One downside of living in Accord, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 36.30 minutes every day commuting to work.
As is often the case in a small town, Accord doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
