Prospect, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Prospect CDP is a very small community in North Carolina, with 850 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #487 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 37% of them. The median age here is 42.6 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 Prospect CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 16.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Prospect CDP is valued at $86,800, 71.4% below the national figure and 61% below the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 93.8% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Prospect 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.
