Malibu is a somewhat small coastal city (ie. on the ocean or tidally-influenced rivers) located in the state of California. With a population of 12,514 people and four constituent neighborhoods, Malibu is the 386th largest community in California.
Malibu is a decidedly white-collar city, with fully 92.51% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Malibu is a city of professionals, managers, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Malibu who work in management occupations (18.61%), sales jobs (14.23%), and art, media and design (10.54%).
Of important note, Malibu is also a city of artists. Malibu has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Malibu's character.
A relatively large number of people in Malibu telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 13.98% 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.
Malibu, while not large, also appears to be attractive to some younger, educated professionals, who help shape the character of the city.
In addition to being popular with young singles, Malibu is also home to many people who can be described as "urban sophisticates." Urban sophisticates are educated, wealthy, executives and professionals, who have urbane tastes in books, food, and travel, whether they actually live in a big city, or choose to reside in a small town. In big or medium-sized cities, urban sophisticates tend to frequent art institutions such as opera, symphonies, ballet, live theatre, and museums.
The city is also nautical, which means that parts of Malibu are somewhat historic and bounded by the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.
One downside of living in Malibu is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Malibu, the average commute to work is 36.94 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.
Being a small city, Malibu does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
