Lachine is a very small town located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 4,452 people and two associated neighborhoods, Lachine is the 212th largest community in Michigan.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.45% 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, Lachine is worth considering.
As is often the case in a small town, Lachine doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
The percentage of adults in Lachine who are college-educated is close to the national average for all communities of 21.84%: 17.88% of the adults in Lachine have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.
