Its population is roughly 3,000.  Prostitution activity has been well-documented within Livingston County, and the problems and ancillary crimes it generates results in complaints to law enforcement agencies from residents and businesses. Among the more serious crimes associated with the local commercial sex market is sex trafficking. For example, in 2017 a local woman was arrested and accused of sex trafficking at least three minor girls between 2009 and 2014.
