Leesburg is a major vacation destination. Much of the town's population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependant on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Leesburg's population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
Leesburg is a very car-oriented town. 99.1% of residents commute to work in a private automobile rather than by other means, such as public transit, bicycling, or walking. This is because Leesburg is a small town, and most people who live here have to drive out of town for work, and the town population is not large nor dense enough to support an extensive public transportation system. Leesburg has a lot of rural roads, and houses can be far apart. Many residents drive out of town for regular shopping trips as well.
As is often the case in a small town, Leesburg doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
