Ahoskie town, NC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ahoskie town is a small town in North Carolina, with 4,798 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #173 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 38.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Ahoskie town earn a median of $40,762 a year, 48.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% below the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 24.4% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ahoskie town is valued at $123,800, 59.2% below the national figure and 44% below the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $794 a month, 43.5% below the national figure, or roughly $9,528 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 45.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
