Yachats is a tiny coastal city (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Oregon. With a population of 994 people and just one neighborhood, Yachats is the 189th largest community in Oregon.
Yachats is a decidedly white-collar city, with fully 89.45% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Yachats is a city of service providers, professionals, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Yachats who work in food service (27.98%), maintenance occupations (22.48%), and management occupations (8.26%).
And if you like science, one thing you'll find is that Yachats has lots of scientists living in town - whether they be life scientists, physical scientists (like astronomers), or social scientists (like geographers!). So, if you're scientific-minded, you might like it here too.
A relatively large number of people in Yachats telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 22.71% 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 Yachats 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, Yachats’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
Yachats 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. Quite often, nautical areas such as these attract visitors and locals who come to enjoy the scenery and various waterfront activities.
Compared to the rest of the country, citizens of Yachats spend much less time in their cars: on average, their commute to work is only 11.83 minutes. This also means that noise and pollution levels in the city are less than they would otherwise be.
As is often the case in a small city, Yachats doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
The education level of Yachats ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Yachats, 49.07% have at least a bachelor's degree. The typical US community has just 21.84% of its adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree.
The per capita income in Yachats in 2018 was $42,517, which is wealthy relative to Oregon and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $170,068 for a family of four. However, Yachats contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
Yachats is a somewhat ethnically-diverse city. The people who call Yachats home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Yachats residents report their race to be White, followed by Native Hawaiian. Important ancestries of people in Yachats include German, English, French, Irish, and Scottish.
The most common language spoken in Yachats is English. Other important languages spoken here include Spanish and Italian.
