Ansonville, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Ansonville town is a very small community in North Carolina, with 578 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #562 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 27% of them. The median age here is 49.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Ansonville town earn a median of $39,375 a year, 49.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 36% below the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 26.3% 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 Ansonville town is valued at $88,500, 70.8% below the national figure and 60% below the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $919 a month, 34.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,028 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28% 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 2.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 70.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
