Waldorf is a larger medium-sized town located in the state of Maryland. With a population of 81,410 people and 16 associated neighborhoods, Waldorf is the fourth largest community in Maryland.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.48% 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 Waldorf is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Waldorf, the average commute to work is 40.64 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

Although the majority of commuting trips in the town are by private automobile, Waldorf is somewhat unusual for a town of its size for having a substantial number of people who use public transportation. For a lot of people, the bus helps to get to and from their jobs every morning, which benefits everyone in the Waldorf area by reducing both traffic and air pollution.
