Living in Templeton



Templeton is a somewhat small town located in the state of Massachusetts. With a population of 8,183 people and two associated neighborhoods, Templeton is the 205th largest community in Massachusetts. Templeton has a large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic towns in the country.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.13% 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.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Templeton has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Templeton a pretty quiet place to live overall.
