A small-city setting
At about 1,218 residents per square mile, Rockwell mixes a compact center with lower-density neighborhoods. Field work in Rockwell is planned around a handful of main routes and a small number of places where a subject is likely to be, which keeps sessions short and costs predictable.
Seasonal and second homes
Census estimates show about 17% of Rockwell's housing is held for seasonal, recreational or occasional use. That changes how occupancy is verified, when people are likely to be present, and how ownership and transfers of property are researched.
A visitor and hospitality economy
