Edinburgh is a very small town located in the state of Indiana. With a population of 4,400 people and three associated neighborhoods, Edinburgh is the 141st largest community in Indiana.Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Edinburgh is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Edinburgh is a town of sales and office workers, service providers, and transportation and shipping workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Edinburgh who work in office and administrative support (22.07%), sales jobs (9.61%), and food service (7.24%). One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.78% 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. The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy.
