Cramerton town, NC in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Cramerton town is a mid-size town in North Carolina, with 5,376 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #157 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 35.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Cramerton town earn a median of $94,390 a year, 20.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 54% 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 3.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Cramerton town is valued at $322,900, 6.4% above the national figure and 47% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,341 a month, 4.6% below the national figure, or roughly $16,092 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.4% 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.
