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.
Of important note, Lewiston is also a town of artists. Lewiston has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Lewiston’s character.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.41% 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.
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.
The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Lewiston has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Lewiston a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
Being a small town, Lewiston does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
The percentage of adults in Lewiston who are college-educated is close to the national average for all communities of 21.84%: 18.78% of the adults in Lewiston have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.
The per capita income in Lewiston in 2022 was $30,355, which is middle income relative to Michigan, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $121,420 for a family of four.
