Bernice is a tiny town located in the state of Oklahoma. With a population of 430 people and two associated neighborhoods, Bernice is the 296th largest community in Oklahoma.
Also of interest is that Bernice has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
A relatively large number of people in Bernice telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 10.77% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. 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.
Another notable thing is that Bernice 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, Bernice is worth considering.
Bernice 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.
