Suitland is a medium-sized town located in the state of Maryland. With a population of 25,839 people and 12 associated neighborhoods, Suitland is the 43rd largest community in Maryland.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 13.38% 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 downside of living in Suitland is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Suitland, the average commute to work is 37.64 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average. On the other hand, local public transit is widely used in the town, so leaving the car at home and taking transit is often a viable alternative.
Like elsewhere in America, most people in Suitland use a private automobile to get to work. But notably, a substantial number of Suitland‘s citizens do make use of public transit in their daily commute, primarily riding the subway. This helps more people get to work with less air pollution, and require fewer highways to get them there.
The population of Suitland overall has a level of education that is slightly above the US average for all US cities and towns of 21.84%. Of adults 25 and older in Suitland, 21.53% have at least a bachelor's degree.
