What it’s like

The place. Burrillville is a small Rhode Island town in Providence County where most homes are lived in by their owners. Households here have incomes well above the county's, and fewer people live below the poverty line than you might expect. The population is older than in many places, and a four-year degree is held by a smaller share of adults than in the wider region. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm in July and the year brings a good deal of rain and melted snow.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with building trades, manufacturing and shops also employing a good number. Burrillville Schools is the largest workplace in town, followed by Health Concepts, a skilled nursing provider, and Kanadevia Inova Matrix Services US, which works in power plant and construction services. Commutes tend to be long, and some people work from home. Across Providence County, unemployment is lower than a year ago and the number of jobs has edged up slightly.

Things to do. Lake Chaubunagungamaug is a lake a short drive away, and Thompson International Speedway, a race track, is also a short drive. Close to home, the Pascoag River runs in or beside town, as do the Chockalog and Clear Rivers. For a longer drive, Gillette Stadium is a major stadium for sports and concerts.
