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 a large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic towns in the country.

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 very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Hortense really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Hortense perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
