Walpole is 12 miles west of Brockton, and 17 miles southwest of
Boston.
The town is part of the Boston metro area with the population approaching
23,000.
Because of the natural resources of Great Cedar
Swamp, bog iron, and the
Neponset River which falls 151 feet in Walpole,
industry was attracted to locate early on in Walpole. The community
has always maintained an industrial tax base. Yet, because of its 20
square miles of beautiful land, many families have found the charm of its
rural character to be an ideal place to raise a family. Thus, the Town has
evolved over time into a growing bedroom community with a stable mix of
commercial and industrial land uses.
The townspeople are known for their typical New
England hard work ethic, a very competitive attitude, particularly in
sports; a strong pride in community and its schools.
Walpole has a median family income of just under
$85,000, and is one of the richest towns in Massachusetts. Of the
housing in Walpole, approximately 86% is occupied by their owners. A
large stable middle class is one of the strengths of the town. In
