Tyro CDP, NC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Tyro CDP is a small town in North Carolina, with 3,635 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #228 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 36.8 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 Tyro CDP earn a median of $57,198 a year, 27.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% below the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 16.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Tyro CDP is valued at $182,000, 40% below the national figure and 17% below the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $776 a month, 44.8% below the national figure, or roughly $9,312 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.3% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 82.4% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
