Turkey, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Turkey town is a very small community in North Carolina, with 446 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #607 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 21% of them. The median age here is 26.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Turkey town earn a median of not published a year. 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 5.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Turkey town is valued at $49,200, 83.8% below the national figure and 78% below the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 69.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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 26.1 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 446 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Turkey town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Turkey town 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.
