Moscow is a very small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 2,017 people and two associated neighborhoods, Moscow is the 642nd largest community in Pennsylvania.
Also of interest is that Moscow 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: 9.09% 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.
Because of many things, Moscow is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Moscow 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 borough’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Moscow has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Moscow’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
The education level of Moscow ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Moscow, 41.81% have at least a bachelor's degree. The typical US community has just 21.84% of its adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree.
