Living in Spotsylvania



Spotsylvania is a medium-sized town located in the state of Virginia. With a population of 34,436 people and seven associated neighborhoods, Spotsylvania is the 32nd largest community in Virginia.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.88% 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.

Is Spotsylvania perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
