ZIP 27695 in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
ZIP 27695 is a small town in Wake County, North Carolina, with 1,922 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #604 of 853 ranked by population — larger than 29% of them. The median age here is 19.2 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 ZIP 27695 earn a median of not published a year. 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 Poverty reaches an unpublished share of residents here.
The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 27695 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The homeownership rate is not published. 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 19.2 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.
The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent, poverty rate for ZIP 27695 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.

Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 27695 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
