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. 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 $71,000.00.Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Bolivia is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Bolivia is a town of professionals, sales and office workers, and construction workers and builders. There are especially a lot of people living in Bolivia who work in sales jobs (16.44%), teaching (15.07%), and computer science and math (15.07%). 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. 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. 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 have a 4-year college degree or graduate degree? If so, you may feel right at home in Bolivia. 53.13% of adults here have a 4-year degree or graduate degree, whereas the national average for all cities and towns is just 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.
