Much of the housing stock in Vail was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Vail economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 17.83% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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.

Vail is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families.

Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Vail’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
