Monrovia is a very small town located in the state of Indiana. With a population of 1,954 people and two associated neighborhoods, Monrovia is the 266th largest community in Indiana. Much of the housing stock in Monrovia was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Monrovia economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Monrovia, where the median household income is $84,688.00.
Also of interest is that Monrovia 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: 14.30% 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.
Because of many things, Monrovia is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Monrovia really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Monrovia 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.
