Living in Lawton



Lawton is a very small village located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 1,794 people and two associated neighborhoods, Lawton is the 370th largest community in Michigan.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.66% 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.

The village 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, Lawton has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Lawton a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

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

In terms of college education, Lawton is nearly on par with the US average for all cities of 21.84%: 17.41% of adults 25 and older in Lawton have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.

The per capita income in Lawton in 2018 was $27,592, which is lower middle income relative to Michigan and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $110,368 for a family of four. However, Lawton contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
