Arp is a tiny city located in the state of Texas. With a population of 972 people and two associated neighborhoods, Arp is the 845th largest community in Texas.Unlike some cities where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Arp is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Arp is a city of sales and office workers, construction workers and builders, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Arp who work in sales jobs (17.27%), office and administrative support (14.39%), and management occupations (6.47%). One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.12% 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 city 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, Arp is worth considering. One downside of living in Arp is that it can take a long time to commute to work.
