Gouldsboro is a tiny town located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 750 people and two associated neighborhoods, Gouldsboro is the 897th largest community in Pennsylvania. Much of the housing stock in Gouldsboro was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic towns in the country.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 16.00% 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.

Another notable thing is that Gouldsboro is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Gouldsboro has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Gouldsboro a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
