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 $50,972.00.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 sales and office workers, professionals, and construction workers and builders. There are especially a lot of people living in Bolivia who work in sales jobs (28.79%), teaching (10.61%), and office and administrative support (7.58%). 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: 25.76% 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. As is often the case in a small town, Bolivia doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.The education level of Bolivia ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Bolivia, 45.14% have at least a bachelor's degree. The typical US community has just 21.84% of its adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree. The per capita income in Bolivia in 2022 was $19,372, which is low income relative to North Carolina and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $77,488 for a family of four. However, Bolivia contains both very wealthy and poor people as well. 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. Important ancestries of people in Bolivia include Irish, German, French, Welsh, and English. The most common language spoken in Bolivia is English.
