Living in Montevallo



Montevallo is a somewhat small city located in the state of Alabama. With a population of 7,637 people and four associated neighborhoods, Montevallo is the 89th largest community in Alabama.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.60% 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.

Montevallo is a small town with a large college student population. Because of this, there is a real youthful, hip vibe to the place, and much of the life in the town is centered on the college.

Spending by students, and faculty and staff jobs, are a big part of the local economy.
