Troutman town, NC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Troutman town is a small town in North Carolina, with 3,813 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #212 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 35.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Troutman town earn a median of $76,389 a year, 2.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% 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 3.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Troutman town is valued at $349,100, 15.1% above the national figure and 59% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,045 a month, 25.7% below the national figure, or roughly $12,540 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.4% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 78.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
