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.Lewiston is neither predominantly blue-collar nor white-collar, instead having a mixed workforce of both blue-collar and white-collar jobs. Overall, Lewiston is a town of sales and office workers, managers, and production and manufacturing workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Lewiston who work in office and administrative support (20.51%), management occupations (17.22%), and teaching (7.34%). 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. Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Lewiston is worth considering. As is often the case in a small town, Lewiston doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.In terms of college education, Lewiston is nearly on par with the US average for all cities of 21.84%: 18.78% of adults 25 and older in Lewiston have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.
