Greenville is a larger medium-sized city located in the state of North Carolina. With a population of 90,053 people and 28 associated neighborhoods, Greenville is the 12th largest community in North Carolina.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.90% 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.

Combining city textures and college town sensibilities, Greenville really has a nice blend of characteristics. While not a huge city, Greenville is big enough to offer a healthy dose of diversion, opportunity, and amenity to its residents and to the thousands of college students who descend on it every fall.

Not only is Greenville a city with many college students, but it also retains many recent graduates who are looking to start new careers, creating a decent-sized population of people who are young, single, educated, and upwardly-mobile.

Here, these young singles will find many others like themselves, with opportunities for friendships, socializing, romance, and fun.
