Branchville is a tiny borough located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 802 people and two associated neighborhoods, Branchville is the 485th largest community in New Jersey. Much of the housing stock in Branchville was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic boroughs in the country.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 14.09% 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.
