Brunswick is a somewhat small city located in the state of Maryland. With a population of 8,211 people and two associated neighborhoods, Brunswick is the 92nd largest community in Maryland. Brunswick has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Brunswick, where the median household income is $104,700.00.
Also of interest is that Brunswick 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: 15.21% 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.
In addition, Brunswick is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates". Urban sophisticates are educated, wealthy, executives and professionals, who have urbane tastes in books, food, and travel, whether they actually live in a big city, or choose to reside in a small town. In big or medium-sized cities, urban sophisticates tend to frequent art institutions such as opera, symphonies, ballet, live theatre, and museums.
One downside of living in Brunswick, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 37.77 minutes every day commuting to work.
The overall education level of Brunswick citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 33.53% of adults in Brunswick have at least a bachelor's degree, and the average American community has 21.84%.
The per capita income in Brunswick in 2022 was $46,264, which is middle income relative to Maryland, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $185,056 for a family of four.
