Occupations and Workforce

Evanston is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 91.82% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average.

There are especially a lot of people living in Evanston who work in sales jobs (59.75%), office and administrative support (15.72%), and teaching (8.81%).

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 25.52% 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.

Setting & Lifestyle

Another notable thing is that Evanston is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Evanston’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Because of many things, Evanston is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Evanston a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Evanston has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Evanston’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Evanston has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Evanston a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

One downside of living in Evanston is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Evanston, the average commute to work is 32.92 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

Notable & Unique Neighborhood Characteristics

The Neighbors

While a neighborhood may be relatively wealthy overall, it is equally important to understand the rate of people - particularly children - who are living at or below the federal poverty line, which is extremely low income.

Ethnicity / Ancestry

Culture is the shared learned behavior of peoples.

How you get to work – car, bus, train or other means – and how much of your day it takes to do so is a large quality of life and financial issue. Especially with gasoline prices rising and expected to continue doing so, the length and means of one's commute can be a financial burden.
