Eastover, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Eastover town is a small town in North Carolina, with 3,666 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #225 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 44.7 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 Eastover town earn a median of $80,000 a year, 1.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 31% above 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 13.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Eastover town is valued at $238,900, 21.3% below the national figure and 9% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,122 a month, 20.2% below the national figure, or roughly $13,464 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.8% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
