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