Tower is a tiny city located in the state of Minnesota. With a population of 423 people and two associated neighborhoods, Tower is the 461st largest community in Minnesota.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 13.30% 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.
The city is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Tower has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Tower a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
Tower is a small city, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
