Avila Beach is a very small coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of California. With a population of 1,576 people and just one neighborhood, Avila Beach is the 695th largest community in California.
Avila Beach home prices are not only among the most expensive in California, but Avila Beach real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.
Avila Beach is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 92.55% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Avila Beach is a town of professionals, sales and office workers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Avila Beach who work in legal occupations (19.85%), management occupations (17.96%), and sales jobs (17.52%).
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 44.02% 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.
In addition, Avila Beach is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates". Urban sophisticates are educated, wealthy, executives and professionals, who have urbane tastes in books, food, and travel, whether they actually live in a big city, or choose to reside in a small town. In big or medium-sized cities, urban sophisticates tend to frequent art institutions such as opera, symphonies, ballet, live theatre, and museums.
Avila Beach is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Quite often, nautical areas such as these attract visitors and locals who come to enjoy the scenery and various waterfront activities.
As is often the case in a small town, Avila Beach doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
If knowledge is power, Avila Beach is a pretty powerful place. 55.42% of the adults in Avila Beach have earned a 4-year college degree, masters degree, MD, law degree, or even PhD. Compare that to the national average of 21.84% for all cities and towns.
The per capita income in Avila Beach in 2018 was $104,057, which is wealthy relative to California and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $416,228 for a family of four.
