One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.26% 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 Arkdale is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially 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.

(Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) 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.
