About Townsend
Townsend is a somewhat small coastal town (ie. on the ocean or tidally-influenced rivers) located in the state of Georgia. With a population of 5,206 people and just one neighborhood, Townsend is the 163rd largest community in Georgia.
Townsend is a blue-collar town, with 38.9% of people working in blue-collar occupations, while the average in America is just 24.7%.

There are especially a lot of people living in Townsend who work in sales jobs (13.09%), office and administrative support jobs (10.27%), and management occupations (7.07%).
Townsend 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 dependant on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Townsend's population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
One of the nice things about Townsend is that is it nautical, meaning that parts of the town are somewhat historic and on the ocean, or touch tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.
One downside of living in Townsend, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 33.69 minutes every day commuting to work.
Townsend is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
