Atlanta is a tiny town located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 720 people and two associated neighborhoods, Atlanta is the 528th largest community in Michigan.
Of important note, Atlanta is also a town of artists. Atlanta has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Atlanta’s character.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 16.18% 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 Atlanta is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Atlanta’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
Atlanta’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the nation, making it a very safe place to live.
Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Atlanta is worth considering.
As is often the case in a small town, Atlanta doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
The citizens of Atlanta have a very low rate of college education: just 8.74% of people over 25 have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree, compared to a national average of 21.84% for all cities.
The per capita income in Atlanta in 2022 was $23,176, which is low income relative to Michigan and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $92,704 for a family of four. Atlanta also has one of the higher rates of people living in poverty in the nation, with 31.67% of its population below the federal poverty line.
Atlanta is a somewhat ethnically-diverse town. The people who call Atlanta home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Atlanta residents report their race to be White, followed by Asian. Important ancestries of people in Atlanta include German, Irish, Polish, French, and English.
The most common language spoken in Atlanta is English. Other important languages spoken here include Polish and Tagalog.
