Living in Verona



Verona is a somewhat small township located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 14,338 people and three associated neighborhoods, Verona is the 134th largest community in New Jersey.

Housing costs in Verona 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 New Jersey.

Of important note, Verona is also a township of artists. Verona has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Verona’s character.

Also of interest is that Verona 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: 21.39% 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.

In addition, Verona is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates", which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.

Because of many things, Verona is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Verona a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The township’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Verona has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Verona’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

In Verona, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 31.33 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average. One bright side is that local public transit is widely used, so it may be an option to avoid the headache of driving in the heavy traffic by leaving the car at home and taking transit.

Despite being a small township, Verona has a lot of people using the train to get to and from work every day. Most of these people on the train are using it to get to good jobs in other cities.

If knowledge is power, Verona is a pretty powerful place. 68.11% of the adults in Verona have earned a 4-year college degree, masters degree, MD, law degree, or even PhD. Compare that to the national average of 21.84% for all cities and towns.

The per capita income in Verona in 2022 was $80,102, which is wealthy relative to New Jersey and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $320,408 for a family of four.
