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 227 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 $71,000.00.

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.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 14.63% 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.

Because of many things, Bolivia is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Bolivia 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 town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Bolivia has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local 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. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.

One downside of living in Bolivia is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Bolivia, the average commute to work is 30.21 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

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

Do you have a 4-year college degree or graduate degree? If so, you may feel right at home in Bolivia. 53.13% of adults here have a 4-year degree or graduate degree, whereas the national average for all cities and towns is just 21.84%.

The per capita income in Bolivia in 2022 was $25,196, which is lower middle income relative to North Carolina, and low income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $100,784 for a family of four. However, Bolivia contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

Bolivia is a somewhat ethnically-diverse town. 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. Bolivia also has a sizeable Hispanic population (people of Hispanic origin can be of any race). People of Hispanic or Latino origin account for 13.33% of the town’s residents. Important ancestries of people in Bolivia include Irish, German, French, English, and Welsh.

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