A relatively large number of people in Verona telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 21.39% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. 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.

In addition, Verona is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates". Urban sophisticates are people who are both educated and wealthy, and thus tend to be older, richer, and more established than young professionals.

But such people can and do regularly live in small towns, suburbs and rural areas, as well as in big cities. They read, support the arts and high-end shops, and love travel.

Verona is a good choice for families with children because of several factors.

Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Verona’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
