Also of interest is that Millburn has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
Of important note, Millburn is also a town of artists. Millburn has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Millburn’s character.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 27.84% 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, Millburn is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates". Urban sophisticates are educated, wealthy, executives and professionals, who have urbane tastes in books, food, and travel, whether they actually live in a big city, or choose to reside in a small town. In big or medium-sized cities, urban sophisticates tend to frequent art institutions such as opera, symphonies, ballet, live theatre, and museums.
Because of many things, Millburn is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Millburn really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Millburn perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.

On the other hand, local public transit is widely used in the town, so leaving the car at home and taking transit is often a viable alternative. In addition, it is also a pedestrian-friendly town. Many of Millburn’s neighborhoods are dense enough and have amenities close enough together that people find it feasible to get around on foot.
In Millburn, a lot of people use the train to get to work every day though Millburn is a relatively small town. Those that ride the train are primarily traveling out of town to good jobs in other cities.
