Living in Paradise



Paradise is a tiny town located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 971 people and two associated neighborhoods, Paradise is the 472nd largest community in Michigan.

Also of interest is that Paradise 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: 25.29% 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.

Another notable thing is that Paradise 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.

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, Paradise is worth considering.

As is often the case in a small town, Paradise doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The education level of Paradise citizens, measured as those with bachelor's degrees or advanced degrees, is similar to the national average for all American cities and towns. 20.69% of adults 25 and older in Paradise have a college degree.

The per capita income in Paradise in 2022 was $31,693, which is middle income relative to Michigan and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $126,772 for a family of four. However, Paradise contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

Paradise is a somewhat ethnically-diverse town. The people who call Paradise home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Paradise residents report their race to be White, followed by Native American. Important ancestries of people in Paradise include German, English, Irish, French, and Dutch.

The most common language spoken in Paradise is English. Other important languages spoken here include Polish and Italian.
