Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 9.26% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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.

Another notable thing is that Arkdale is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season.

As the vacation season ends, Arkdale’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Arkdale has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Arkdale has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Arkdale than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Arkdale may be for you.
