Coloma is a tiny town located in the state of California. With a population of 521 people and just one neighborhood, Coloma is the 796th largest community in California.
Housing costs in Coloma are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in California.
Unlike some towns, Coloma isn’t mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Coloma are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Coloma is a town of managers, transportation and shipping workers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Coloma who work in management occupations (29.89%), business and financial occupations (21.40%), and community and social services (12.92%).
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.81% 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.
Residents of the town have the good fortune of having one of the shortest daily commutes compared to the rest of the country. On average, they spend only 17.73 minutes getting to work every day.
Coloma is very much a car-oriented town. This is because the population of Coloma isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 96.65% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town). People also tend to drive out of town for other services as well, such as shopping, doctors appointments, and more.
Being a small town, Coloma does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
In terms of college education, Coloma is substantially better educated than the typical community in the nation, which has 21.84% of the adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree: 32.55% of adults in Coloma have a college degree.
The per capita income in Coloma in 2018 was $48,051, which is upper middle income relative to California, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $192,204 for a family of four. However, Coloma contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
The people who call Coloma home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Coloma residents report their race to be White. Important ancestries of people in Coloma include European, German, Scandinavian, Irish, and Austrian.
The most common language spoken in Coloma is English. Other important languages spoken here include Native American languages and Spanish.
