No one lives in the caldera itself, Mammoth Lakes is on the rim of the caldera and the 2000 US census put their population at 7,093.
Long Valley caldera is classified as a supervolcano. It is a large volcanic caldera in eastern California that was formed by a massive explosive eruption around 760,000 years ago. It is known for its potential to produce extremely large and destructive eruptions.
The major city closest to Long Valley Caldera is Mammoth Lakes in California. It is located about 12 miles southeast of the caldera.
Long Valley Caldera has erupted several times. The one that actually formed the caldera took place 760,000 years ago, but after that there were more 500,000, 300,000, and 100,000 years ago.
They are: 1. Yellowstone Caldera (Idaho and Wyoming, US) 2. Long Valley Caldera (California, US) 3. Valles Caldera (New Mexico, US) 4. Toba Caldera (Sumatra, Indonesia) 5. Taupo Caldera (North Island New Zealand) 6. Aira Caldera (Kagoshima, Japan)
Long Valley Caldera's current volcanic activity level is normal with aviation color code of green. (Updated 2-9-12 CalVO) This simply means that there is no out of the ordinary activity currently present in the Long Valley Volcanic Complex. For further information on the Long Valley Volcanic System as well as its monthly activity updates see the CalVO (California Volcano Observatory) website in the related links section.

Long Valley Caldera is a quaternary rhyolitic volcanic. It is located in the boundary of the Sierra Nevada and Range Province in the eastern part of California.

In a few places, yes. For example, the town of Mammoth Lakes, California is built in the Long Valley Caldera.
it erupted 760,000 years ago.
There is a supervolcano in Arizona: The Silver Creek Caldera near the town of Peach Springs. This volcano erupted between 18 and 19 million years ago. The caldera has since been torn in half by rifting. There are other, nearby supervolcanoes. The Valles Caldera near Santa Fe, New Mexico is the closest. Next would be Long Valley Caldera, in California east of Yosemite. Then there's Yellowstone.
The Long Valley Caldera is still considered an active volcanic area, as it has experienced ongoing seismic activity and the release of volcanic gases. While there is no imminent threat of an eruption, monitoring of the caldera continues to track any potential changes that may indicate increased volcanic activity.
