Drums is a somewhat small town located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 9,848 people and two associated neighborhoods, Drums is the 122nd largest community in Pennsylvania.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.68% 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, Drums is worth considering.

Being a small town, Drums does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

In terms of college education, Drums is substantially better educated than the typical community in the nation, which has 21.84% of the adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree: 33.42% of adults in Drums have a college degree.

The per capita income in Drums in 2022 was $42,818, which is upper middle income relative to Pennsylvania and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $171,272 for a family of four. However, Drums contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
