Bunn, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Bunn town is a very small community in North Carolina, with 468 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #601 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 22% of them. The median age here is 45 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Bunn town earn a median of $53,750 a year, 31.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% below the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 5.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bunn town is valued at $212,500, 30% below the national figure and 3% below the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $859 a month, 38.9% below the national figure, or roughly $10,308 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 58.8% 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.
