Hatteras CDP, NC in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Hatteras CDP is a very small community in North Carolina, with 381 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #631 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 18% of them. The median age here is 33.1 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 Hatteras CDP earn a median of $48,980 a year, 37.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 0.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Hatteras CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 55.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
With 381 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Hatteras CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Hatteras CDP 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.
