Attica is a tiny town located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 962 people and two associated neighborhoods, Attica is the 481st largest community in Michigan. Much of the housing stock in Attica was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic towns in the country.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.24% 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.
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, Attica is worth considering.
One downside of living in Attica, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 34.54 minutes every day commuting to work.
As is often the case in a small town, Attica doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
