Silverton is a tiny town located in the state of Colorado. With a population of 622 people and just one neighborhood, Silverton is the 197th largest community in Colorado. Much of the housing stock in Silverton was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic towns in the country.
Housing costs in Silverton are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in Colorado.
Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Silverton is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Silverton is a town of service providers, sales and office workers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Silverton who work in sales jobs (22.50%), maintenance occupations (15.31%), and law enforcement and fire fighting (9.69%).
Of important note, Silverton is also a town of artists. Silverton has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Silverton’s character.
A relatively large number of people in Silverton telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 12.34% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. 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 Silverton is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town.
Residents of the town have the good fortune of having one of the shortest daily commutes compared to the rest of the country. On average, they spend only 13.38 minutes getting to work every day.
Being a small town, Silverton does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
The overall education level of Silverton citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 31.21% of adults in Silverton have at least a bachelor's degree, and the average American community has 21.84%.
The per capita income in Silverton in 2018 was $35,177, which is upper middle income relative to Colorado and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $140,708 for a family of four. However, Silverton contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
