Stony Point, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Stony Point CDP is a small town in North Carolina, with 1,301 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #414 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 46% of them. The median age here is 53.1 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 Stony Point CDP earn a median of $70,846 a year, 9.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% 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 3.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Stony Point CDP is valued at $169,200, 44.2% below the national figure and 23% below the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.4×, 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. 95.1% 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.

A median age of 53.1 puts Stony Point CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

The Census withheld gross rent for Stony Point 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.
