Living in DeWitt



DeWitt is a very small city located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 4,803 people and five associated neighborhoods, DeWitt is the 198th largest community in Michigan.

DeWitt real estate is some of the most expensive in Michigan, although DeWitt house values don't compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 13.87% 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, DeWitt really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is DeWitt perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
