Calhoun is a tiny town located in the state of Louisiana. With a population of 670 people and two associated neighborhoods, Calhoun is the 267th largest community in Louisiana. Calhoun has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Calhoun, where the median household income is $138,372.00.
A relatively large number of people in Calhoun telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 9.73% 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.
