Bogota is a somewhat small borough located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 9,799 people and two associated neighborhoods, Bogota is the 227th largest community in New Jersey. Bogota has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic boroughs.

Housing costs in Bogota are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in New Jersey.

Also of interest is that Bogota has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

Of important note, Bogota is also a borough of artists. Bogota has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Bogota’s character.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 9.00% 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.

One downside of living in Bogota, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 30.89 minutes every day commuting to work.

In addition, local public transit is widely used. For those who would prefer to avoid driving entirely and leave their car at home, it may be an option to use the transit instead.

Even though Bogota is a smaller borough, it has many people who hop on public transportation – mostly the bus for their daily commute to work. Typically, these people are commuting to good jobs in the surrounding cities.

The education level of Bogota citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 32.34% of adults in Bogota have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Bogota in 2022 was $52,412, which is middle income relative to New Jersey, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $209,648 for a family of four. However, Bogota contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
