Hortense is a tiny town located in the state of Georgia. With a population of 252 people and two associated neighborhoods, Hortense is the 460th largest community in Georgia. Hortense has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic towns.

Also of interest is that Hortense has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 50.94% 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.

Because of many things, Hortense is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Hortense a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Hortense has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Hortense’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.

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, Hortense is worth considering.
