Bogota is a somewhat small borough located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 9,606 people and two associated neighborhoods, Bogota is the 227th largest community in New Jersey. Bogota has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic boroughs.

Housing costs in Bogota are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in New Jersey.

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

In Bogota, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 31.38 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average. One bright side is that local public transit is widely used, so it may be an option to avoid the headache of driving in the heavy traffic by leaving the car at home and taking transit. In addition, the borough is also quite pedestrian-friendly, because many neighborhoods are very dense and have amenities close enough together that people find it feasible to get around on foot.

Even though Bogota is a smaller borough, it has many people who hop on public transportation – mostly the bus for their daily commute to work. Typically, these people are commuting to good jobs in the surrounding cities.

The per capita income in Bogota in 2022 was $45,952, which is lower middle income relative to New Jersey, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $183,808 for a family of four. However, Bogota contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
