Onalaska is a tiny town located in the state of Washington. With a population of 657 people and two associated neighborhoods, Onalaska is the 288th largest community in Washington.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.44% 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. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Onalaska is worth considering.

As is often the case in a small town, Onalaska doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The percentage of adults in Onalaska who are college-educated is close to the national average for all communities of 21.84%: 19.03% of the adults in Onalaska have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.

The per capita income in Onalaska in 2022 was $27,449, which is low income relative to Washington, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $109,796 for a family of four. However, Onalaska contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
