Housing Owner-Occupied Median Value ($), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — North Carolina

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Median owner-occupied home values in North Carolina exhibit a clear urban-suburban premium, with the highest concentrations—often exceeding $400,000—clustered around the Charlotte metro area in the southwest, the Research Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) in the central Piedmont, and select coastal zones along the Outer Banks and southeastern beaches. In contrast, persistently low median values below $100,000 dominate much of the rural eastern Coastal Plain and parts of the southern Sandhills region, reflecting longstanding economic disparities between metropolitan and non-metropolitan counties. The western mountain region displays notable variability, with pockets of high-value zip codes near Asheville and resort communities like Highlands and Blowing Rock surrounded by significantly lower-value rural areas.
