North Wales is a very small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 3,418 people and four associated neighborhoods, North Wales is the 443rd largest community in Pennsylvania. North Wales has a large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic boroughs in the country.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.56% 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.

In addition, North Wales is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates", which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.
