Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Setting & Lifestyle

Another notable thing is that Fayette - Wayne is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Fayette - Wayne’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Fayette - Wayne is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families.

Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Fayette - Wayne’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.

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!) Fayette - Wayne 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. Fayette - Wayne has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Fayette - Wayne than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Fayette - Wayne may be for you.

One downside of living in Fayette - Wayne, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 32.17 minutes every day commuting to work.
