Living in Cougar



Cougar is a tiny town located in the state of Washington. With a population of 118 people and two associated neighborhoods, Cougar is the second largest community in Washington.

Another notable thing is that Cougar 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, Cougar’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Cougar’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the nation, making it a very safe 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, Cougar is worth considering.

One downside of living in Cougar is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Cougar, the average commute to work is 37.50 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

Cougar is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.

Cougar 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.
