Lewiston is a tiny town located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 996 people and two associated neighborhoods, Lewiston is the 477th largest community in Michigan.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 15.62% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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.

Another notable thing is that Lewiston is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Lewiston’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Lewiston has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Lewiston has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Lewiston than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Lewiston may be for you.

As is often the case in a small town, Lewiston doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

In Lewiston, just 12.77% of people have at least a bachelor's degree, which is quite a bit lower than the national average for cities and towns of 21.84%.
