Prescott is a tiny village located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 226 people and two associated neighborhoods, Prescott is the 640th largest community in Michigan.

A relatively large number of people in Prescott telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 11.21% 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. 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, Prescott has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Prescott a pretty quiet place to live overall.
