A relatively large number of people in Parks telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 10.70% 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 Parks 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.

Because of many things, Parks is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Parks a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Parks has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Parks’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Parks has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Parks a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
