ZIP 27565 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 27565 is a mid-size town in Granville County, North Carolina, with 23,658 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #166 of 853 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 45.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 ZIP 27565 earn a median of $59,406 a year, 24.4% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 16.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 27565 is valued at $193,400, 36.3% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $903 a month, 35.8% below the national figure, or roughly $10,836 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.2% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.1% 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.

Reading ZIP 27565 in context

How 27565 sits inside Granville County and North Carolina.

ZIP 27565 is tabulated inside Granville County, North Carolina, one of 6 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 853 across North Carolina. This is a mid-sized ZIP that covers a large share of its county's addresses. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 27565 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 27565 reports a median household income of $59,406, 15% below the $69,561 county median, and 5% below the $62,646 typical NC ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $193,400, 3% below the county figure and 5% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $903 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

North Carolina charges 4.75% statewide, and local governments overlapping 27565 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 27565 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
