Living in Crestline



Crestline is a somewhat small town located in the state of California. With a population of 11,650 people and four associated neighborhoods, Crestline is the 399th largest community in California.

Of important note, Crestline is also a town of artists. Crestline has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Crestline’s character.

Also of interest is that Crestline has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 18.92% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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.

Another notable thing is that Crestline is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Crestline’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Crestline is worth considering.

One downside of living in Crestline is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Crestline, the average commute to work is 35.95 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

The per capita income in Crestline in 2018 was $38,069, which is middle income relative to California, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $152,276 for a family of four. However, Crestline contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
