About Rolling Hills

Rolling Hills is a very small city located in the state of California. With a population of 1,871 people and just one neighborhood, Rolling Hills is the 628th largest community in California.

Rolling Hills is a decidedly white-collar city, with fully 95.28% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Rolling Hills is a city of professionals, managers, and sales and office workers.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 9.79% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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, Rolling Hills is home to many people who could 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.

Because of many things, Rolling Hills is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Rolling Hills a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The city's good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Rolling Hills has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Rolling Hills's overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

One downside of living in Rolling Hills, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 31.96 minutes every day commuting to work.

Rolling Hills is very much a car-oriented city. This is because the population of Rolling Hills isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 97.86% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town). People also tend to drive out of town for other services as well, such as shopping, doctors appointments, and more.

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