About Davis

Davis is a larger medium-sized city located in the state of California. With a population of 66,016 people and 17 constituent neighborhoods, Davis is the 122nd largest community in California.

Housing costs in Davis are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in California.

Davis is a decidedly white-collar city, with fully 92.71% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Davis is a city of professionals, sales and office workers and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Davis who work in teaching (17.71%), management occupations (10.61%) and sales jobs (8.58%).

And if you like science, one thing you'll find is that Davis 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 Davis has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

Davis is also a major college town with a large number of people who are 18 years or older and attending college. As is often the case in college towns, the many students that live in Davis have a strong influence on the local culture and entertainment scene, which may seem dormant by comparison in the summer months when much of the student population is away. In the fall, the return of students has a reinvigorating effect on the community. Because colleges are lasting institutions, they have a stabilizing effect on the economy by providing direct local benefits such as jobs for faculty and staff and spending by students. Davis’s economy is one such example of this.

Not only is Davis a city with many college students, but it also retains many recent graduates who are looking to start new careers, creating a decent-sized population of people who are young, single, educated, and upwardly-mobile. This makes it a good choice for other relocating single professionals. Here, these young singles will find many others like themselves, with opportunities for friendships, socializing, romance, and fun.

For the size of the city, public transportation in Davis is quite heavily used. Mostly, people who use it for their daily commute are taking the bus. For Davis, the benefits are reduced air pollution and congestion on the highways.
