Wareham is a medium-sized coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Massachusetts. With a population of 23,151 people and four associated neighborhoods, Wareham is the 88th largest community in Massachusetts.

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

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.01% 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.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Wareham is worth considering.

Wareham is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.

In terms of college education, Wareham is somewhat better educated than the 21.84% who have a 4-year degree or higher in the typical US community: 25.43% of adults 25 and older in the town have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Wareham in 2022 was $42,538, which is low income relative to Massachusetts, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $170,152 for a family of four. However, Wareham contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
