Gotta be one odd town!

I was curious what made their little town "financially secure".
Didn't spot that info nugget, yet.

But, kinda' weird town.
86.9 sq. mi. - 654 houses (217 occupied: 196 owner occupied, 21 renter occupied)

Only 1/3 of the homes are occupied????

97 mobile homes.

Median price asked for vacant for-sale houses in 2000: $28,300

AVERAGE (!) price $28,300 for a home (in 2000)!!!

509 residents = $10 / year per resident "franchise fee" ?

What is up with this town???

My guess is that right around deer season all those homes are occupied.
