Living in Prudenville



Prudenville is a very small town located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 1,643 people and two associated neighborhoods, Prudenville is the 393rd largest community in Michigan.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 14.44% 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 Prudenville is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents.
