Walkertown town, NC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Walkertown town is a mid-size town in North Carolina, with 5,793 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #150 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 39.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Walkertown town earn a median of $80,761 a year, 2.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 32% above the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Walkertown town is valued at $230,800, 23.9% below the national figure and 5% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,283 a month, 8.7% below the national figure, or roughly $15,396 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.1% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
