Port Angeles is a medium-sized coastal city (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Washington. With a population of 20,101 people and 11 associated neighborhoods, Port Angeles is the 59th largest community in Washington.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.94% 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.

Port Angeles is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.

The education level of Port Angeles citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 30.67% of adults in Port Angeles have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Port Angeles in 2022 was $33,807, which is middle income relative to Washington and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $135,228 for a family of four. However, Port Angeles contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
