Arnold is a very small town located in the state of California. With a population of 3,288 people and four associated neighborhoods, Arnold is the 593rd largest community in California.

Housing costs in Arnold are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in California.

And if you like science, one thing you'll find is that Arnold has lots of scientists living in town - whether they be life scientists, physical scientists (like astronomers), or social scientists (like geographers!). So, if you're scientific-minded, you might like it here too.

Of important note, Arnold is also a town of artists. Arnold has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Arnold’s character.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 23.51% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. 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 Arnold is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town 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 town.

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, Arnold is worth considering.

Residents of the town have the good fortune of having one of the shortest daily commutes compared to the rest of the country. On average, they spend only 16.29 minutes getting to work every day.

As is often the case in a small town, Arnold doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

Arnold is one of the most well-educated cities in the nation. 43.83% of adults in Arnold have at least a bachelor's degree. Compare that to the average community in America, which has just 21.84% with a bachelor's degree or higher.

The per capita income in Arnold in 2022 was $66,403, which is wealthy relative to California and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $265,612 for a family of four.
