What it’s like
The place. Angels Camp is a town in Calaveras County, in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and residents tend to be older than the country as a whole. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, while a good deal of rain falls over the year.
Work. Unemployment across Calaveras County is a little lower than it was a year earlier, though the number of jobs dipped slightly over the last year. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, in professional and business services, or in shops. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in the country overall, and some residents work from home.
Things to do. The area is known for its caves, and Mercer Caverns and Moaning Cavern are both tourist attractions a short drive away. New Melones Lake, a reservoir also a short drive away, is a good place for time on the water. Calaveras Big Trees State Park, a protected area a longer drive away, is worth the trip for those who want to walk among large trees.
