About Como
Como is a very small coastal town (ie. on the ocean or tidally-influenced rivers) located in the state of North Carolina. With a population of 1,389 people and just one neighborhood, Como is the 348th largest community in North Carolina.
Because occupations involving physical labor dominate the local economy, Como is generally considered to be a blue-collar town. 40.9% of the Como workforce is employed in blue-collar occupations, compared to the national average of 24.7%. Overall, Como is a town of sales and office workers, service providers, and production and manufacturing workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Como who work in sales jobs (15.05%), office and administrative support jobs (9.83%), and healthcare (6.76%).
The town is also nautical, which means that parts of Como are somewhat historic and bounded by the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.
Como is a small town, and as is often the case with smaller towns, the population isn't large or dense enough to support much in the way of a public transportation system. In fact, there are many rural roads around Como, which makes walking or biking to and from work a bit difficult. This makes for a very car-oriented town: 98.13% of residents commute to work by private automobile, and people often drive out of town for work, shopping, and other activities.
As is often the case in a small town, Como doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
