What it’s like
The place. Bayboro is a small town and the county seat of Pamlico County, in eastern North Carolina. Residents are older than in most American communities, and the typical home costs less than in much of the country. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few work from home. Winters are mild and cold snaps are brief, with snow a rare event, while summers are hot and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, shops, and restaurants and hotels. Across Pamlico County, some of the largest workplaces are Leggett & Platt, a manufacturer, Pamlico County Schools, and Walmart. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the county has more jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Deep Run, a river, is a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to the Pamlico River and to Croatan National Forest, a protected area. Tryon Palace, a museum, is also a longer drive away.

It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Pamlico County and the New Bern, NC metro.
