Freeland is a somewhat small town located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 7,630 people and three associated neighborhoods, Freeland is the 147th largest community in Michigan.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.56% 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.

With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Freeland really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Freeland perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea.
