Living in Arkdale



Arkdale is a tiny town located in the state of Wisconsin. With a population of 201 people and two associated neighborhoods, Arkdale is the 502nd largest community in Wisconsin.

Also of interest is that Arkdale has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

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

Overall, Arkdale’s crime rate is one of the lowest in the nation, which makes a great place to live if safety is an important concern.

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, Arkdale is worth considering.

One downside of living in Arkdale is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Arkdale, the average commute to work is 31.63 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

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

The education level of Arkdale citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 33.13% of adults in Arkdale have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Arkdale in 2018 was $38,740, which is upper middle income relative to Wisconsin and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $154,960 for a family of four. However, Arkdale contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
