Lumber Bridge, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Lumber Bridge town is a very small community in North Carolina, with 65 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #758 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 2% of them. The median age here is 43.8 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 Lumber Bridge town earn a median of $63,750 a year, 18.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% above 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 10.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lumber Bridge town is valued at $160,000, 47.3% below the national figure and 27% below the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,042 a month, 25.9% below the national figure, or roughly $12,504 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.6% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
