Cleveland is a very small town located in the state of South Carolina. With a population of 1,096 people and just one neighborhood, Cleveland is the 182nd largest community in South Carolina.
Unlike some towns, Cleveland isn’t mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Cleveland are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Cleveland is a town of sales and office workers, service providers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Cleveland who work in sales jobs (17.21%), office and administrative support (8.90%), and food service (8.32%).
A relatively large number of people in Cleveland telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 12.38% 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 Cleveland is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’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, Cleveland’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Cleveland has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Cleveland a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
