About Walden

Walden is a tiny town located in the state of Colorado. With a population of 740 people and just one neighborhood, Walden is the 165th largest community in Colorado.

Because occupations involving physical labor dominate the local economy, Walden is generally considered to be a blue-collar town. 42.4% of the Walden workforce is employed in blue-collar occupations, compared to the national average of 24.7%. Overall, Walden is a town of sales and office workers, construction workers and builders, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Walden who work in office and administrative support jobs (16.72%), sales jobs (8.66%), and management occupations (6.27%).

You will also find that a lot of people in Walden work in agricultural jobs - much more than in the average community in America. This will be quite apparent if you drive around town, as much of the landscape is dedicated to farms.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their homes - 9.48% 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.

Compared to the rest of the country, citizens of Walden spend much less time in their cars: on average, their commute to work is only 10.46 minutes. This also means that noise and pollution levels in the town are less than they would otherwise be.

Walden 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.
