Living in Southwick



Southwick is a somewhat small town located in the state of Massachusetts. With a population of 9,195 people and two associated neighborhoods, Southwick is the 189th largest community in Massachusetts.

Of important note, Southwick is also a town of artists. Southwick has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Southwick’s character.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 14.12% 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.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
