Another notable thing is that Yorktown is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends.

During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
