Walla Walla is a medium-sized city located in the state of Washington. With a population of 33,492 people and ten associated neighborhoods, Walla Walla is the 38th largest community in Washington.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.23% 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.
One of the benefits of Walla Walla is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 13.51 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.
The overall education level of Walla Walla citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 29.30% of adults in Walla Walla have at least a bachelor's degree, and the average American community has 21.84%.
The per capita income in Walla Walla in 2022 was $31,801, which is lower middle income relative to Washington, and middle income relative to the rest of the US.
