Mountain Center is a tiny town located in the state of California. With a population of 66 people and just one neighborhood, Mountain Center is the 858th largest community in California. Much of the housing stock in Mountain Center was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic towns in the country.
Housing costs in Mountain Center 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.
Mountain Center is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 100.00% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Mountain Center is a town of sales and office workers, transportation and shipping workers, and production and manufacturing workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Mountain Center who work in sales jobs (100.00%), office and administrative support (0.00%), and personal care services (0.00%).
Another notable thing is that Mountain Center is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town.
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, Mountain Center is worth considering.
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 7.50 minutes getting to work every day.
Mountain Center is a small town, and as is often the case with smaller towns, the population isn't large or dense enough to support much in the way of a public transportation system. In fact, there are many rural roads around Mountain Center, which makes walking or biking to and from work a bit difficult. This makes for a very car-oriented town: 100.00% of residents commute to work by private automobile, and people often drive out of town for work, shopping, and other activities.
Being a small town, Mountain Center does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
Mountain Center ranks among the bottom of the nation in terms of college education compared to other cities and towns: only 0.00% of people over 25 have a college degree.
