Mineral is a tiny town located in the state of California. With a population of 136 people and just one neighborhood, Mineral is the 849th largest community in California. Mineral has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic towns.
Because occupations involving physical labor dominate the local economy, Mineral is generally considered to be a blue-collar town. 43.59% of the Mineral workforce is employed in blue-collar occupations, compared to the national average of 27.7%. Overall, Mineral is a town of construction workers and builders, sales and office workers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Mineral who work in sales jobs (28.21%), architecture and engineering (15.38%), and computer science and math (12.82%).
Also of interest is that Mineral has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
Another notable thing is that Mineral 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, Mineral’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
One of the benefits of Mineral is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 14.42 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.
As is often the case in a small town, Mineral doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
The overall education level of Mineral citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 30.61% of adults in Mineral have at least a bachelor's degree, and the average American community has 21.84%.
The per capita income in Mineral in 2018 was $26,183, which is lower middle income relative to California, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $104,732 for a family of four. However, Mineral contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
The people who call Mineral home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Mineral residents report their race to be White. Important ancestries of people in Mineral include British, Polish, Norwegian, European, and German.
The most common language spoken in Mineral is English. Other important languages spoken here include Native American languages and Langs. of India.
