One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.03% 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.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Clarkdale has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Clarkdale a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
