About Ross

Ross is a very small town located in the state of California. With a population of 2,310 people and just one neighborhood, Ross is the 606th largest community in California. Much of the housing stock in Ross was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic towns in the country.

Ross is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 95.11% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Ross is a town of professionals, managers, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Ross who work in management occupations (19.13%), sales jobs (12.39%), and business and financial occupations (9.02%).

Of important note, Ross is also a town of artists. Ross has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Ross's character.

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

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 12.25% 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, Ross 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.

Because of many things, Ross is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Ross 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 town's good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Ross has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Ross's overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

One downside of living in Ross, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 34.53 minutes every day commuting to work. It is, however, a pedestrian-friendly town. Many of its neighborhoods are dense enough and have amenities close enough together that people find it feasible to get around on foot.

Ross is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
