Atlanta is a tiny town located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 720 people and two associated neighborhoods, Atlanta is the 528th largest community in Michigan.

Of important note, Atlanta is also a town of artists. Atlanta has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Atlanta’s character.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 16.18% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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 Atlanta 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, Atlanta’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Overall, Atlanta’s crime rate is one of the lowest in the nation, which makes a great place to live if safety is an important concern.

It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Atlanta has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Atlanta has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Atlanta than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Atlanta may be for you.

As is often the case in a small town, Atlanta doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

In Atlanta, just 8.74% of people over 25 hold a college degree, which is very low compared to the rest of the nation, whereas the average among all cities is 21.84%.

The per capita income in Atlanta in 2022 was $23,176, which is low income relative to Michigan and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $92,704 for a family of four. Atlanta also has one of the higher rates of people living in poverty in the nation, with 31.67% of its population below the federal poverty line.

Atlanta is a somewhat ethnically-diverse town. The people who call Atlanta home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Atlanta residents report their race to be White, followed by Asian. Important ancestries of people in Atlanta include German, Irish, Polish, French, and English.

The most common language spoken in Atlanta is English. Other important languages spoken here include Polish and Tagalog.
