Supply is a medium-sized coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of North Carolina. With a population of 12,456 people and four associated neighborhoods, Supply is the 94th largest community in North Carolina.

A relatively large number of people in Supply telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 10.09% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. 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.

Another notable thing is that Supply is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Supply is worth considering.

Supply 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. Quite often, nautical areas such as these attract visitors and locals who come to enjoy the scenery and various waterfront activities.

The education level of Supply citizens, measured as those with bachelor's degrees or advanced degrees, is similar to the national average for all American cities and towns. 20.16% of adults 25 and older in Supply have a college degree.
