Living in Cincinnati



Cincinnati is a large city located in the state of Ohio. With a population of 309,513 people and 169 associated neighborhoods, Cincinnati is the third largest community in Ohio. Much of the housing stock in Cincinnati was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic cities in the country.

Also of interest is that Cincinnati 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: 11.54% 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.

Cincinnati is a popular destination for single career-starters.

They are a real visible part of the culture of Cincinnati. This makes Cincinnati a good place to live for young professionals. With so many people in this demographic, Cincinnati presents many opportunities for single professionals to enjoy themselves, socialize, and to create lasting relationships.
