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 254 people and three associated neighborhoods, Bolivia is the 567th largest community in North Carolina. There's nothing like the smell of a brand new house, and in Bolivia, you'll find that a large proportion of houses were recently built. New growth in residential real estate is an indication that people are choosing to move to Bolivia, and putting down their money on brand new construction. Bolivia’s real estate is, on average, some of the newest in the nation. Bolivia does seem to be experiencing an influx of affluent people, because the median household income is $57,159.00.

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.

Because of many things, Bolivia is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Bolivia really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Bolivia perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.

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.

In Bolivia, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 31.90 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.
