Lebanon is a very small borough located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 1,670 people and two associated neighborhoods, Lebanon is the 445th largest community in New Jersey. Lebanon has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Lebanon, where the median household income is $106,389.00.

Also of interest is that Lebanon has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 26.08% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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.
In Lebanon, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 34.65 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.
