Arnold is a very small town located in the state of California. With a population of 3,288 people and four associated neighborhoods, Arnold is the 593rd largest community in California.

And if you like science, one thing you'll find is that Arnold has lots of scientists living in town - whether they be life scientists, physical scientists (like astronomers), or social scientists (like geographers!). So, if you're scientific-minded, you might like it here too.

Also of interest is that Arnold has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 42.12% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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.

Another notable thing is that Arnold 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, Arnold’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

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, Arnold has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Arnold a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

The education level of Arnold citizens is very high relative to the national average among all cities (21.84%): 36.55% of adults in Arnold have a bachelor's degree or even advanced degree.
