Homeland is a somewhat small town located in the state of California. With a population of 6,772 people and two associated neighborhoods, Homeland is the 474th largest community in California.Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Homeland is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Homeland is a town of service providers, sales and office workers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Homeland who work in food service (10.68%), office and administrative support (10.12%), and teaching (8.20%). One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 14.27% 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. 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.
