With a population of just 18,800, Levin is a sleepy service town with a few light manufacturing jobs. While the mall and train station provide basic amenities, the bureaucracy around upgrading the town's marae and car rally-related police skirmishes suggest this is a place for the hardy, not the faint of heart. And with a median age of nearly 44 years old, Levin is clearly more suited to retirees than young professionals.
