About California

California is a somewhat small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 5,273 people and just one neighborhood, California is the 335th largest community in Pennsylvania.

Unlike some boroughs , California isn't mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in California are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, California is a borough of sales and office workers, service providers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in California who work in office and administrative support jobs (23.56%), sales jobs (10.70%), and food service (8.82%).

California is a place where college students are a big part of the character and culture of the town. Small towns have often struggled with declining populations over the past few decades, but the presence of such a large college student population has helped California to fight this trend. Not only does the college population add spending and jobs to local economy, but it also contributes a very tangible, youthful energy to the town.

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