A relatively large number of people in Young telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 50.00% 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 Young is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
Young’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the nation, making it a very safe 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!) Young 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. Young has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Young than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Young may be for you.
One downside of living in Young, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 54.91 minutes every day commuting to work.
Being a small town, Young does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
