Pitt County, NC Property Records & Statistics
Pitt County has a median rent of $863, slightly above the North Carolina median of $846.75 and the national median of $840.25. Renting is also more common here than in most places: renter-occupied housing makes up 28.37% of occupied homes, compared with 25.4% statewide and 21.81% nationally, a pattern consistent with a county that has a large student and workforce population.
The median home value is $133,200, well below the state median of $176,900 and the national median of $173,750, so buying is comparatively affordable. Property taxes, however, are heavier: the median rate of 0.87% is above the state rate of 0.72% and the national rate of 0.74%, which raises the annual cost of owning on every dollar of value.
Median household income is $54,984, below both the state median of $57,889.50 and the national median of $65,108. The unemployment rate of 3.45% is higher than the state rate of 3.02% and the national rate of 2.87%, indicating a job market a little softer than average.
Overall, the figures describe a county with low home values, a larger rental market, higher-than-average property tax rates, and incomes and employment that trail the state and national benchmarks.
