Lowgap, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Lowgap CDP is a very small community in North Carolina, with 226 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #692 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 10% of them. The median age here is 46.3 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 Lowgap CDP earn a median of $68,750 a year, 12.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% above the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lowgap CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $706 a month, 49.8% below the national figure, or roughly $8,472 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 48.5% 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 226 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lowgap CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Lowgap 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.
