Living in Bolivia



Bolivia is a tiny coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of North Carolina. With a population of 185 people and three associated neighborhoods, Bolivia is the 567th largest community in North Carolina. Much of the housing stock in Bolivia was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Bolivia economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Bolivia, where the median household income is $50,972.00.

Also of interest is that Bolivia has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

A relatively large number of people in Bolivia telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 25.76% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Bolivia is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Bolivia’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

Bolivia is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Quite often, nautical areas such as these attract visitors and locals who come to enjoy the scenery and various waterfront activities.

As is often the case in a small town, Bolivia doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The education level of Bolivia ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Bolivia, 45.14% have at least a bachelor's degree. The typical US community has just 21.84% of its adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree.

The per capita income in Bolivia in 2022 was $19,372, which is low income relative to North Carolina and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $77,488 for a family of four. However, Bolivia contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

The people who call Bolivia home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Bolivia residents report their race to be White, followed by Black or African-American. Important ancestries of people in Bolivia include Irish, German, French, Welsh, and English.

The most common language spoken in Bolivia is English. Other important languages spoken here include French and Spanish.
