Glen Rose is a very small city located in the state of Texas. With a population of 2,817 people and three associated neighborhoods, Glen Rose is the 558th largest community in Texas. Glen Rose has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years.

This seems to be the case in Glen Rose, where the median household income is $73,804.00.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.86% 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.

It is a fairly quiet city because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Glen Rose has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Glen Rose has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Glen Rose than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here.
