Mammoth Cave is a very small town located in the state of Kentucky. With a population of 1,428 people and two associated neighborhoods, Mammoth Cave is the 232nd largest community in Kentucky.

Of important note, Mammoth Cave is also a town of artists. Mammoth Cave has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Mammoth Cave’s character.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 9.29% 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 Mammoth Cave is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Mammoth Cave is worth considering.
