About Ocotillo

Ocotillo is a tiny town located in the state of California. With a population of 500 people and just one neighborhood, Ocotillo is the 704th largest community in California.

Ocotillo is neither predominently blue-collar or white-collar, instead having a mixed workforce of both blue-collar and white-collar jobs. Overall, Ocotillo is a town of sales and office workers, service providers, and construction workers and builders. There are especially a lot of people living in Ocotillo who work in office and administrative support jobs (18.13%), sales jobs (17.03%), and law enforcement and fire fighting (17.03%).

Ocotillo 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, Ocotillo's population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Ocotillo is a major retirement destination. In fact, people 65 and over make up 29.20% of the population. For those considering a place to retire, Ocotillo may be a good choice because much of the town's services and social community are oriented toward the over-65 demographic.

One downside of living in Ocotillo is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Ocotillo, the average commute to work is 42.27 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average. However, it is a pedestrian-friendly town. Many of Ocotillo's neighborhoods are dense enough and have amenities close enough together that people find it feasible to get around on foot.

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