Living in London



London is a somewhat small city located in the state of Kentucky. With a population of 7,578 people and 11 associated neighborhoods, London is the 58th largest community in Kentucky.

Also of interest is that London has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

A relatively large number of people in London telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 10.95% 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.

One of the benefits of London is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 18.93 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.
