Mammoth Cave profile


Living in Mammoth Cave



Mammoth Cave is a very small town located in the state of Kentucky. With a population of 1,428 people and two associated neighborhoods, Mammoth Cave is the 232nd largest community in Kentucky.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.85% 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 Mammoth Cave is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Mammoth Cave is worth considering.

In Mammoth Cave, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 38.05 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.

In Mammoth Cave, just 8.10% of people over 25 hold a college degree, which is very low compared to the rest of the nation, whereas the average among all cities is 21.84%.
