Fremont, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Fremont town is a very small community in North Carolina, with 948 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #471 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 39% of them. The median age here is 39.3 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 Fremont town earn a median of $41,477 a year, 47.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% below 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 31.9% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fremont town is valued at $115,500, 61.9% below the national figure and 47% below the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $824 a month, 41.4% below the national figure, or roughly $9,888 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 55.7% 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.
