Four Oaks town, NC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Four Oaks town is a small town in North Carolina, with 2,372 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #313 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 40.6 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 Four Oaks town earn a median of $69,974 a year, 10.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% above the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 12.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Four Oaks town is valued at $222,100, 26.8% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,096 a month, 22% below the national figure, or roughly $13,152 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.8% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 50.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
