Of important note, Mantoloking is also a borough of artists. Mantoloking has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Mantoloking’s character.
Also of interest is that Mantoloking has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
A relatively large number of people in Mantoloking telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 44.50% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. 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 Mantoloking is a major vacation destination. Much of the borough’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Mantoloking’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
Because of many things, Mantoloking is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Mantoloking really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Mantoloking perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
One of the nice things about Mantoloking is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.
In Mantoloking, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 37.77 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average. One bright side is that local public transit is widely used, so it may be an option to avoid the headache of driving in the heavy traffic by leaving the car at home and taking transit.
In Mantoloking, a lot of people use the train to get to work every day though Mantoloking is a relatively small borough. Those that ride the train are primarily traveling out of town to good jobs in other cities.
