Folcroft is a somewhat small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 6,735 people and two associated neighborhoods, Folcroft is the 196th largest community in Pennsylvania.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.56% 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.

For a small borough, Folcroft has a lot of people who use public transit to get to work, and those that do mostly ride the train. This suggests that a real need for low-cost transportation in Folcroft exists, and local transit is helping to meet that need.

The per capita income in Folcroft in 2022 was $25,780, which is low income relative to Pennsylvania, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $103,120 for a family of four. However, Folcroft contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
