Living in Supply



Supply is a somewhat small coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of North Carolina. With a population of 11,485 people and four associated neighborhoods, Supply is the 94th largest community in North Carolina.

Another notable thing is that Supply is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.

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. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.

In Supply, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 30.47 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.

The education level of Supply citizens is a little higher than the average for US cities and towns: 22.07% of adults in Supply have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Supply in 2022 was $32,773, which is upper middle income relative to North Carolina, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $131,092 for a family of four. However, Supply contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
