Of important note, Jenner is also a town of artists. Jenner has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Jenner’s character.
Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 100.00% 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 Jenner 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, Jenner’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
Overall, Jenner’s crime rate is one of the lowest in the nation, which makes a great place to live if safety is an important concern.
It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Jenner has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Jenner has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Jenner than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Jenner may be for you.
Jenner is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.
One of the benefits of Jenner is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 0.00 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.
Being a small town, Jenner does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
