South Fork is a tiny town located in the state of Colorado. With a population of 425 people and just one neighborhood, South Fork is the 208th largest community in Colorado.
Unlike some towns, South Fork isn’t mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in South Fork are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, South Fork is a town of professionals, managers, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in South Fork who work in management occupations (24.42%), teaching (9.30%), and personal care services (4.65%).
Also of interest is that South Fork has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
Of important note, South Fork is also a town of artists. South Fork has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape South Fork’s character.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 34.25% 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.
Another notable thing is that South Fork is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially 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, South Fork 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 17.19 minutes getting to work every day.
The citizens of South Fork are very well educated compared to the average community in the nation: 36.66% of adults in South Fork have a bachelor's degree or even advanced degree.
The per capita income in South Fork in 2018 was $39,830, which is upper middle income relative to Colorado, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $159,320 for a family of four. However, South Fork contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
South Fork is a somewhat ethnically-diverse town. The people who call South Fork home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of South Fork residents report their race to be White, followed by Asian. Important ancestries of people in South Fork include German, Irish, English, French, and Italian.
