One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 23.71% 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.

Another notable thing is that Dillon 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, Dillon’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Being a small town, Dillon does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
