Los Altos

Welcome to Los Altos, CA

Los Altos is the 251st largest community in California

Los Altos is a medium-sized city located in the state of California. With a population of 30,531 people and eight constituent neighborhoods, Los Altos is the 251st largest community in California. Also of interest is that Los Altos has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US. One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their homes: 8.26% 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. Because of many things, Los Altos is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Los Altos a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community.

The city’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Los Altos has a high rate of owner-occupied single-family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Los Altos’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
