JAARS, NC population, income and ZIP codes

JAARS CDP is a very small community in North Carolina, with 769 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #508 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 34% of them. The median age here is 42.1 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 JAARS CDP earn a median of $64,107 a year, 18.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% above the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. 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 25.4% 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 JAARS CDP is valued at $9,999, 96.7% below the national figure and 95% below the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 0.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 91.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 769 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare JAARS CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for JAARS 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.
