Godwin, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Godwin town is a very small community in North Carolina, with 170 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #722 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 7% of them. The median age here is 57.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Godwin town earn a median of not published a year. 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 17.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Godwin town is valued at $158,000, 47.9% below the national figure and 28% below the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $546 a month, 61.2% below the national figure, or roughly $6,552 across a full year. 56.2% 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.

A median age of 57.5 puts Godwin town well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 170 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Godwin town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income for Godwin town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
