Bethlehem is a very small village located in the state of West Virginia. With a population of 2,651 people and just one neighborhood, Bethlehem is the 80th largest community in West Virginia.
Bethlehem is a decidedly white-collar village, with fully 86.00% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Bethlehem is a village of professionals, sales and office workers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Bethlehem who work in office and administrative support jobs (17.23%), healthcare (13.54%), and sales jobs (10.77%).
Because of many things, Bethlehem is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Bethlehem really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Bethlehem perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic night life, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
Residents of the village have the good fortune of having one of the shortest daily commutes compared to the rest of the country. On average, they spend only 18.00 minutes getting to work every day.
Bethlehem is very much a car-oriented village. This is because the population of Bethlehem isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 97.52% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town). People also tend to drive out of town for other services as well, such as shopping, doctors appointments, and more.
As is often the case in a small village, Bethlehem doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
The education level of Bethlehem citizens is substantially higher than the average US city or town, as 30.36% of adults in Bethlehem have at least a bachelor's degree.
The per capita income in Bethlehem in 2000 was $21,995, which is wealthy relative to West Virginia, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $87,980 for a family of four.
The people who call Bethlehem home come from a variety of different races and ancestries. The most prevalent race in Bethlehem is White, followed by African-American. Important ancestries of people in Bethlehem include German, Irish, Polish, English, Italian, and Scotch-Irish.
The most common language spoken in Bethlehem is English.
