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. 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 $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.

Bolivia is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Bolivia’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

One of the nice things about Bolivia is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.

In Bolivia, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 30.21 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.

Bolivia is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.

Do you like to read, write and learn? If you move to Bolivia, you'll likely find that many of your neighbors like to as well. Bolivia is one of the more educated communities in America, with a full 53.13% of its adults having a college degree or even advanced degree, compared to a national average across all communities of 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.
