Worcester is also member of the Boston-Worcester-Manchester (MA-RI-NH) Combined Statistical Area (CSA), the fifth largest metro area in the United States. The citizens of Worcester (pronounced "Wooster") are referred to as Worcesterites.

The median home cost in Worcester is $294,800, with home appreciation in the last year up almost 12%. Its annual per capita income hit $35,384 in 2004. Education and mobility are two benefits that newcomers to the city enjoy. With a collection of fine educational and cultural facilities as well as the MBTA commuter rail system running the landscape, Worcester students and professionals thrive in this modern city.

Initially a manufacturing and textile-based economy, Worcester has developed a focus on biotechnology, research, education and financial services. Top employers include:

Biotechnology will play an important role in the future of Worcester, as the Massachusetts Biotechnology Research Park and the University of Massachusetts Medical School provide a training ground for professionals in this field.
