While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Another notable thing is that Landers 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.

As the vacation season ends, Landers’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!) Landers 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. Landers has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Landers than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Landers may be for you.
