What it’s like

The place. Wilmington is a community north of Boston in Middlesex County, home to a mix of ages that skews a little older than a typical American town. Incomes run well above the county's, relatively few people live below the poverty line, and most homes are lived in by their owners rather than rented. Typical home values are high, and rents are high too. Adults here are more likely to hold a four-year degree than in a typical American town. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July is warm. Over a year the town gets a good deal of snow and a fair amount of rain and melted snow.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, manufacturing and shops. Some of the largest workplaces in town are Charles River Laboratories, Unifirst and the Wilmington Schools. Commutes are of a middling length, and a fair share of people work from home. Across Middlesex County, jobs have dipped slightly over the past year and unemployment is a little lower than it was a year ago.

Things to do. Boston's best-known places are a longer drive away. The Museum of Fine Arts Boston is a large art museum, and Fenway Park is the city's baseball stadium. For some time outdoors, Walden Pond is a well-known reservoir, also a longer drive from town.
