Beaver is a very small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 4,352 people and five associated neighborhoods, Beaver is the 343rd largest community in Pennsylvania.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 19.18% 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.

As is often the case in a small borough, Beaver doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
