Green Level town, NC in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Green Level town is a small town in North Carolina, with 3,179 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #248 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 32.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Green Level town earn a median of $54,020 a year, 31.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% below 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 18% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Green Level town is valued at $164,500, 45.8% below the national figure and 25% below the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $864 a month, 38.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,368 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.2% 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. 69.2% 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.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
