Colville is a very small city located in the state of Washington. With a population of 5,021 people and four associated neighborhoods, Colville is the 132nd largest community in Washington.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.59% 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.
