About Buena Vista

Buena Vista is a very small town located in the state of Colorado. With a population of 2,101 people and just one neighborhood, Buena Vista is the 120th largest community in Colorado.

Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Buena Vista is neither predominently one or the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Buena Vista is a town of sales and office workers, service providers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Buena Vista who work in office and administrative support jobs (15.50%), sales jobs (11.07%), and law enforcement and fire fighting (10.41%).

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their homes - 11.58% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. 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.

Residents of the town have the good fortune of having one of the shortest daily commutes compared to the rest of the country. On average, they spend only 13.67 minutes getting to work every day.

Being a small town, Buena Vista does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
