Bay Head is a tiny coastal borough (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 977 people and just one neighborhood, Bay Head is the 471st largest community in New Jersey. Bay Head has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic boroughs.
Bay Head home prices are not only among the most expensive in New Jersey, but Bay Head real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.
Bay Head is a decidedly white-collar borough, with fully 93.91% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Bay Head is a borough of professionals, managers, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Bay Head who work in management occupations (21.67%), sales jobs (11.96%), and teaching (10.38%).
Of important note, Bay Head is also a borough of artists. Bay Head has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Bay Head’s character.
Also of interest is that Bay Head 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 Bay Head telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 7.39% 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.
Another notable thing is that Bay Head is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the borough’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
In addition, Bay Head is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates", which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.
Because of many things, Bay Head is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Bay Head a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The borough’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Bay Head has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Bay Head’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
Bay Head 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. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.
One downside of living in Bay Head, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 31.47 minutes every day commuting to work.
If knowledge is power, Bay Head is a pretty powerful place. 62.19% of the adults in Bay Head have earned a 4-year college degree, masters degree, MD, law degree, or even PhD. Compare that to the national average of 21.84% for all cities and towns.
