Concord, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Concord city is a mid-size city in North Carolina, with 106,518 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #10 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 36.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Concord city earn a median of $84,752 a year, 7.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 38% above 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 8.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Concord city is valued at $327,600, 8% above the national figure and 49% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,365 a month, 2.9% below the national figure, or roughly $16,380 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.3% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
