Overview
Pine Mountain Club is a very small town located in the state of California. With a population of 2,422 people and just one neighborhood, Pine Mountain Club is the 639th largest community in California.
Occupations and Workforce
Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Pine Mountain Club is neither predominantly one nor the other.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 23.78% 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.
Setting & Lifestyle
Another notable thing is that Pine Mountain Club is a major vacation destination. Much of the town鈥檚 population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season.

As the vacation season ends, Pine Mountain Club鈥檚 population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
