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.
Also of interest is that Waldorf 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: 11.48% 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.
In Waldorf, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 40.64 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average. One bright side is that local public transit is widely used, so it may be an option to avoid the headache of driving in the heavy traffic by leaving the car at home and taking transit.
Like elsewhere in America, most people in Waldorf use a private automobile to get to work. But notably, a substantial number of Waldorf‘s citizens do make use of public transit in their daily commute, primarily riding the bus. This helps more people get to work with less air pollution, and require fewer highways to get them there.
In terms of college education, Waldorf is substantially better educated than the typical community in the nation, which has 21.84% of the adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree: 32.40% of adults in Waldorf have a college degree.
The per capita income in Waldorf in 2022 was $46,663, which is middle income relative to Maryland, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $186,652 for a family of four. However, Waldorf contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
