Of important note, Lewiston is also a town of artists. Lewiston has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Lewiston’s character.
Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 12.41% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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.
Another notable thing is that Lewiston is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town.
It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Lewiston has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Lewiston has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Lewiston than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Lewiston may be for you.
As is often the case in a small town, Lewiston doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
