About Aptos

Aptos is a medium-sized town located in the state of California. With a population of 24,021 people and just one neighborhood, Aptos is the 281st largest community in California.

Aptos is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 87.92% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Aptos is a town of professionals, sales and office workers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Aptos who work in management occupations (14.43%), sales jobs (14.39%), and office and administrative support jobs (11.68%).

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

A relatively large number of people in Aptos telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 8.00% 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.

In addition, Aptos is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates," which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.

One downside of living in Aptos, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 30.43 minutes every day commuting to work.

As is often the case in a small town, Aptos doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
