Living in Arnold



Arnold is a very small town located in the state of California. With a population of 3,288 people and four associated neighborhoods, Arnold is the 593rd largest community in California.

And if you like science, one thing you'll find is that Arnold has lots of scientists living in town - whether they be life scientists, physical scientists (like astronomers), or social scientists (like geographers!). So, if you're scientific-minded, you might like it here too.

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

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 42.12% 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 Arnold 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.

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, Arnold is worth considering.

The education level of Arnold citizens is very high relative to the national average among all cities (21.84%): 36.55% of adults in Arnold have a bachelor's degree or even advanced degree.

The per capita income in Arnold in 2022 was $63,386, which is wealthy relative to California and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $253,544 for a family of four. However, Arnold contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
