Villa Rica is a medium-sized city located in the state of Georgia. With a population of 18,452 people and seven associated neighborhoods, Villa Rica is the 64th largest community in Georgia. Much of the housing stock in Villa Rica was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Villa Rica economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Villa Rica, where the median household income is $82,373.00.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.57% 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 Villa Rica, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 31.50 minutes every day commuting to work.
