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

Also of interest is that Sebastian has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.50% 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.
