I'm in Seattle, the people behind me are in home construction, in front of me is a company working with boutique spirits, there is at least one healthcare company here, an IoT company, and a mix of some other fields.
With entire teams being here, it isn't all programmers. Sales, marketing, biz dev, and engineering are all sitting together and participating in the community.
As for @ home versus at an office, I am far more productive at an office. So much so that I have a nice home setup (I have one ultrawide instead of multiple monitors!) but it is worth it for me to commute 40 minutes to get here.
(I of course have friends who prefer their home versus an office environment!)

I'm in a New York one and we have a lot of financial advisors, small funds and lawyers, along with tech.
I have a home office for when I need to be "in the zone" -- 3 monitors, ergonomic chair, etc. The benefit here is that you could even write off part of your rent (if you're a contractor/freelancer).
