Wilmington is a medium-sized town located in the state of Massachusetts. With a population of 22,904 people and four associated neighborhoods, Wilmington is the 87th largest community in Massachusetts.

Housing costs in Wilmington are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in Massachusetts.

Also of interest is that Wilmington 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: 13.66% 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.

Wilmington is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Wilmington’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

One downside of living in Wilmington is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Wilmington, the average commute to work is 30.84 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average. On the other hand, local public transit is widely used in the town, so leaving the car at home and taking transit is often a viable alternative.

Like elsewhere in America, most people in Wilmington use a private automobile to get to work. But notably, a substantial number of Wilmington‘s citizens do make use of public transit in their daily commute, primarily riding the train. This helps more people get to work with less air pollution, and require fewer highways to get them there.

The education level of Wilmington ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Wilmington, 47.93% have at least a bachelor's degree. The typical US community has just 21.84% of its adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree.

The per capita income in Wilmington in 2022 was $58,224, which is upper middle income relative to Massachusetts, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $232,896 for a family of four.
