Arapahoe 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 429 people and two associated neighborhoods, Arapahoe is the 503rd largest community in North Carolina.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 16.20% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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.

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, Arapahoe has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Arapahoe a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

In Arapahoe, just 11.51% of people have at least a bachelor's degree, which is quite a bit lower than the national average for cities and towns of 21.84%.
