Somers is a very small town located in the state of Montana. With a population of 1,049 people and just one neighborhood, Somers is the 85th largest community in Montana.
Somers home prices are not only among the most expensive in Montana, but Somers real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.
Somers is a blue-collar town, with 55.08% of people working in blue-collar occupations, while the average in America is just 27.7%. Overall, Somers is a town of transportation and shipping workers, professionals, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Somers who work in food service (12.80%), teaching (12.80%), and office and administrative support (7.32%).
Also of interest is that Somers has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
A relatively large number of people in Somers telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 41.26% 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.
Another notable thing is that Somers 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, Somers’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Somers has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Somers has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Somers than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Somers may be for you.
Somers 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 Somers, 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.
As is often the case in a small town, Somers doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
In Somers, just 9.42% of people over 25 hold a college degree, which is very low compared to the rest of the nation, whereas the average among all cities is 21.84%.
