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 a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Bernice’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Bernice has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Bernice a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

Being a small town, Bernice does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
