Folcroft is a somewhat small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 6,731 people and two associated neighborhoods, Folcroft is the 196th largest community in Pennsylvania.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.58% 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.

Despite the fact that it is a small borough, Folcroft has quite a few people who take public transportation – mostly the train - for their daily commute to work. This helps to fill a real need in the borough for affordable transportation.
