Another notable thing is that Helen is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the city experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area.

The city is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy.
