Ingold, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Ingold CDP is a very small community in North Carolina, with 667 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #537 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 30% of them. The median age here is 23.7 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 Ingold CDP earn a median of $37,195 a year, 52.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 39% below the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 3.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ingold CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $935 a month, 33.5% below the national figure, or roughly $11,220 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. 62.1% 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.

A median age of 23.7 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 667 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Ingold CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Ingold 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.
