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 254 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 $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.

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.

One downside of living in Bolivia, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 31.90 minutes every day commuting to work.

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.

Bolivia is one of the most well-educated cities in the nation. 46.41% of adults in Bolivia have at least a bachelor's degree. Compare that to the average community in America, which has just 21.84% with a bachelor's degree or higher.

The per capita income in Bolivia in 2022 was $26,760, which is lower middle income relative to North Carolina and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $107,040 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 10.53% of the town’s residents. Important ancestries of people in Bolivia include Irish, German, French, English, and Scottish.

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