Avalon is a very small coastal borough (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 1,236 people and just one neighborhood, Avalon is the 461st largest community in New Jersey.
Avalon home prices are not only among the most expensive in New Jersey, but Avalon real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.
Avalon is a decidedly white-collar borough, with fully 91.55% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Avalon is a borough of sales and office workers, managers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Avalon who work in management occupations (23.14%), sales jobs (19.52%), and office and administrative support (14.29%).
A relatively large number of people in Avalon telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 11.36% 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 Avalon is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the borough 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 borough.
In addition, Avalon is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates". Urban sophisticates are educated, wealthy, executives and professionals, who have urbane tastes in books, food, and travel, whether they actually live in a big city, or choose to reside in a small town. In big or medium-sized cities, urban sophisticates tend to frequent art institutions such as opera, symphonies, ballet, live theatre, and museums.
Residents will find that the borough 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, Avalon is worth considering.
One of the nice things about Avalon is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.
