Lake is a somewhat small town located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 7,445 people and three associated neighborhoods, Lake is the 154th largest community in Michigan.

Also of interest is that Lake has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

Another notable thing is that Lake is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially 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, Lake is worth considering.

The percentage of adults in Lake with college degrees is slightly lower than the national average of 21.84% for all communities. 14.72% of adults in Lake have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.
