A relatively large number of people in Loon Lake telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 27.60% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country.

Another notable thing is that Loon Lake 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.

As the vacation season ends, Loon Lake’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, Loon Lake has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Loon Lake a pretty quiet place to live overall.
