Living in Bracey



Bracey is a very small town located in the state of Virginia. With a population of 1,372 people and two associated neighborhoods, Bracey is the 256th largest community in Virginia.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 33.33% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. 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 Bracey is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’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.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Bracey has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Bracey a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

Being a small town, Bracey does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
