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!) Mead 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.

This makes for a very car-oriented town: 98.25% of residents commute to work by private automobile, and people often drive out of town for work, shopping, and other activities.

Being a small town, Mead does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
