Did you know that?
White Collar Town:
Only 17% of Truckee’s population works in “Blue Collar” occupations, with construction being by far the biggest contributor, while “White Collar” occupations such as management, business, professional and sales accounted for the remaining 83% of the work force.
It’s about 50/50:
46.8% of the housing units in Truckee are second homes, with about 49% occupied either by homeowners or renters, and the remaining few percent homes in transition or on the market for rent or sale but not occupied.
The average rent in Truckee for a three bedroom, two bath house with a two car garage is $1400-1500 per month.
Well educated:
Of the over 25 year old population in Truckee over 75% have been to college and 43.5% have obtained either a Bachelor’s Degree or higher. Only 5.5% have not obtained a high school diploma.
Average household income is $82,837 and the median income is $67,750. The median age is 38.
For the population above 15 years old. 30% have never been married, 57% are married, 2.7% are widowed and 10.3% are divorced.
Summary: In comparison to the rest of the United States, Truckee has a well educated, fairly young, fairly affluent, mostly white collar population. And I’m guessing better skiers as well.
