Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 16.83% 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.

Another notable thing is that Islamorada is a major vacation destination. Much of the village’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season.

As the vacation season ends, Islamorada’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
