Moyock CDP, NC in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Moyock CDP is a mid-size town in North Carolina, with 5,669 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #153 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 37.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Moyock CDP earn a median of $109,700 a year, 39.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 79% above 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 6.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Moyock CDP is valued at $391,800, 29.1% above the national figure and 78% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,686 a month, 19.9% above the national figure, or roughly $20,232 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.4% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 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.
