Living in Danville



Danville is a very small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 4,218 people and three associated neighborhoods, Danville is the 365th largest community in Pennsylvania. Much of the housing stock in Danville was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic boroughs in the country.

Also of interest is that Danville 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: 10.50% 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.

One of the benefits of Danville is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 14.89 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.

Danville is a small borough, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.

Danville is one of the most well-educated cities in the nation. 46.84% of adults in Danville have at least a bachelor's degree. Compare that to the average community in America, which has just 21.84% with a bachelor's degree or higher.

The per capita income in Danville in 2022 was $34,962, which is middle income relative to Pennsylvania and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $139,848 for a family of four. However, Danville contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
