Wrightsboro, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Wrightsboro CDP is a mid-size town in North Carolina, with 5,434 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #156 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 39.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Wrightsboro CDP earn a median of $72,867 a year, 7.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% above the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 10.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wrightsboro CDP is valued at $220,700, 27.3% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,072 a month, 23.8% below the national figure, or roughly $12,864 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.7% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.9% 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.

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.
