Living in Lewiston



Lewiston is a tiny town located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 996 people and two associated neighborhoods, Lewiston is the 477th largest community in Michigan.

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

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.41% 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.

Another notable thing is that Lewiston 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.

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!) Lewiston 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. Lewiston has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Lewiston than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Lewiston may be for you.

Being a small town, Lewiston does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

The education level of Lewiston citizens, measured as those with bachelor's degrees or advanced degrees, is similar to the national average for all American cities and towns. 18.78% of adults 25 and older in Lewiston have a college degree.

The per capita income in Lewiston in 2022 was $30,355, which is middle income relative to Michigan, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $121,420 for a family of four.
