About Bristol
Bristol is a very small town located in the state of West Virginia. With a population of 1,513 people and just one neighborhood, Bristol is the 131st largest community in West Virginia.
Bristol is neither predominently blue-collar or white-collar, instead having a mixed workforce of both blue-collar and white-collar jobs. Overall, Bristol is a town of professionals, sales and office workers, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Bristol who work in teaching (10.49%), office and administrative support jobs (9.39%), and sales jobs (8.61%).
Of important note, Bristol is also a town of artists. Bristol has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Bristol's character.
Bristol is very much a car-oriented town. This is because the population of Bristol 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. 98.15% 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 town, Bristol doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
