The Catalina area is largely rural but is evolving toward a more suburban setting as new developments move into the area. However, individualized single family dwellings, whether adobe, wood, or mobile, still dominate the scene. Catalina is host to a large senior population particularly in the "Snowbird season" from November through April. Hispanic people are a large segment (estimated 30%) of the population. There are modest numbers of Asians and Native Americans in the served area.

The Catalina mountains boast of some lost mines and legends surround their names, especially the Iron Door Mine.

Just a little background info, there has been mention of a Dig...
