Gilbert is a tiny town located in the state of South Carolina. With a population of 610 people and four associated neighborhoods, Gilbert is the 223rd largest community in South Carolina. Much of the housing stock in Gilbert was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Gilbert economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.15% 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.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Gilbert is worth considering.
