Amite is a very small town located in the state of Louisiana. With a population of 4,044 people and four associated neighborhoods, Amite is the 113th largest community in Louisiana.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.42% 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, Amite is worth considering.

One of the benefits of Amite is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 15.52 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.

Amite is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
