Newcastle is a somewhat small city located in the state of Oklahoma. With a population of 13,055 people and two associated neighborhoods, Newcastle is the 42nd largest community in Oklahoma. Newcastle 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 Newcastle, where the median household income is $90,469.00. Newcastle real estate is some of the most expensive in Oklahoma, although Newcastle house values don't compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S.Unlike some cities where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Newcastle is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Newcastle is a city of professionals, sales and office workers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Newcastle who work in office and administrative support (16.07%), management occupations (12.19%), and healthcare (9.01%). One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.69% 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. Residents will find that the city is relatively quiet.
