About Monument

Monument is a somewhat small town located in the state of Colorado. With a population of 13,584 people and just one neighborhood, Monument is the 36th largest community in Colorado.

Monument is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 86.55% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Monument is a town of professionals, sales and office workers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Monument who work in management occupations (16.54%), sales jobs (13.50%), and office and administrative support jobs (12.82%).

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

A relatively large number of people in Monument telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 8.88% 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.

In Monument, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 30.78 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.

Monument is a very car-oriented town. This is because most people - 96.7% - drive by car to work every day, and few people choose alternative modes of transportation, such as public transit, cycling, or walking. In general, car-oriented communities have a layout that emphasizes streets, highways, and ease of parking, and sometimes this can be to the detriment of human-scale priorities such as walkability alongside roads, and public spaces. For example, strip malls are something you will find in Monument.

Monument 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.
