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 11,903 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 terms of college education, Supply is nearly on par with the US average for all cities of 21.84%: 20.87% of adults 25 and older in Supply have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.
The per capita income in Supply in 2022 was $34,876, 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 $139,504 for a family of four. However, Supply contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
