Naples FL

---

Naples is a medium-sized coastal city (i.e. on the ocean, a  bay, or inlet) located in the state of Florida. With a population of  21,000+ people and 61+ constituent neighborhoods, Naples is the 130th largest community in Florida.

Naples home prices are not only among the most expensive in Florida, but  Naples real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in  America.

Naples is a decidedly white-collar city, with fully 92.83% of the  workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Naples is a city of sales and office workers, managers  and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in  Naples who work in sales jobs (24.35%), management occupations (21.35%)  and office and administrative support (9.03%). A relatively large number  of people in Naples telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 17.71% of  the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number,  as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the  country. 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 Naples is a major vacation destination.  Much of the city’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, Naples’s population drops significantly, such that  year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place  to live. A large number of seniors call Naples home: people 65 and over  are 48.49% of the population. Because of the prominence of the  retirement community, this is good place for the over-65 crowd to  settle, as many of the city’s services and social community are geared  to this demographic. Naples 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. Compared  to the rest of the country, citizens of Naples spend much less time in  their cars: on average, their commute to work is only 17.53 minutes.  This also means that noise and pollution levels in the city are less  than they would otherwise be.
