Living in Bogota



Bogota is a somewhat small borough located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 9,284 people and two associated neighborhoods, Bogota is the 227th largest community in New Jersey. Bogota has a large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic boroughs in the country.

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.

One downside of living in Bogota, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 30.90 minutes every day commuting to work. It is, however, a pedestrian-friendly borough. Many of its neighborhoods are dense enough and have amenities close enough together that people find it feasible to get around on foot. In addition, local public transit is widely used. For those who would prefer to avoid driving entirely and leave their car at home, it may be an option to use the transit instead.

The per capita income in Bogota in 2022 was $48,011, which is middle income relative to New Jersey, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $192,044 for a family of four. However, Bogota contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
