Anson County, NC Property Records & Statistics
Anson County has a median rent of $825, a little below the North Carolina figure of $846.75 and the national figure of $840.25. Renter-occupied housing makes up 30% of occupied homes, higher than the state share of 25.4% and the national share of 21.81%, so rentals play a bigger role here than in most places.
The median home value is $116,950, far below the state median of $176,900 and the national median of $173,750. Even so, the county's median property tax rate of 0.87% is higher than the state rate of 0.72% and the national rate of 0.74%, so owners pay a larger share of a smaller home value in taxes.
The median household income is $48,577.50, compared with $57,889.50 statewide and $65,108 nationally, so typical incomes trail both averages. Unemployment is low, though: the rate of 1.82% is below the state rate of 3.02% and the national rate of 2.87%.
Taken together, the figures describe an affordable housing market with low home values, near-average rents, a heavier tax rate, below-average incomes, and a job market that looks strong by comparison with the state and nation.

Assignment and release records follow a mortgage after it is recorded. An assignment shows that a mortgage was transferred from one lender or loan holder to another, and a release shows that the loan was paid off and the lien removed from the property.
Anson County has 13,511 assignment and release records available for research. They include 2,111 assignment documents, recorded from January 5, 2005, through August 25, 2025, and 11,383 release documents, recorded from January 4, 2005, through August 28, 2025, plus 17 other documents.
These records let buyers, owners, and researchers see who holds a mortgage, trace a loan between lenders, and confirm that earlier loans were released. Reviewing them before a sale or refinance can reveal mortgages that may still be open, and the date ranges help narrow a search to a specific period.
