Herald is a very small town located in the state of California. With a population of 1,231 people and just one neighborhood, Herald is the 695th largest community in California.
Housing costs in Herald 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, Herald isn’t mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Herald are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Herald is a town of service providers, sales and office workers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Herald who work in management occupations (14.53%), office and administrative support (13.56%), and teaching (9.93%).
A relatively large number of people in Herald telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 12.16% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. 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.
Because of many things, Herald is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Herald really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Herald perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly 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, Herald is worth considering.
In Herald, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 31.31 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.
As is often the case in a small town, Herald doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
The population of Herald overall has a level of education that is slightly above the US average for all US cities and towns of 21.84%. Of adults 25 and older in Herald, 24.78% have at least a bachelor's degree.
The per capita income in Herald in 2018 was $31,691, 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 $126,764 for a family of four. However, Herald contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
