LOCAL INSIGHT
Worcester has 35,000 college students and a short trip to Boston
Worcester had 206,518 residents in the 2020 Census, and the city calls itself the second largest in New England. It is under an hour from Boston, Providence and Hartford, so a Worcester business has customers and rivals well beyond the city line. The quick facts page calls it the Heart of the Commonwealth, in the center of Massachusetts between Boston and Springfield.
The city says it has 8 colleges and universities, with more than 35,000 students, and that its higher education industry is among its proudest assets. Worcester Polytechnic Institute describes a 95 acre hilltop campus in the city. Union Station serves Amtrak and MBTA commuter rail to Boston. The Worcester Regional Chamber says it leads economic development for the region, and publishes reports on cell technology, Union Station and economic competitiveness. Students arrive new each year and look for businesses online, so a shop near a campus has a fresh audience every fall.
Rankwyre offers websites and redesigns for Worcester businesses, with pages for neighborhoods near Union Station, Polar Park and the campuses, and Google Maps and local listings that match.
