Carteret County, not Newport
Carteret County context, not Newport figures
These are Carteret County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Newport measurements.
- Establishments in Carteret County2,249
- Employment at those establishments, Carteret County21,789
- Covered employment, Carteret County25,022
- Average annual pay, Carteret County$45,708
- Average weekly wage, Carteret County$879
- Housing units permitted, Carteret County935
- Of those, single family, Carteret County559
- County product, 2024, Carteret County$3,739,380,000
- County product change over the prior year, Carteret County7.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Carteret County$133,945
Every figure in this section is published for Carteret County as a whole and is not a measurement of Newport. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Newport questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Newport, North Carolina?
4,441, in 1,664 households. Newport town covers 7.86 square miles of land, which is 565 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Newport in?
Carteret County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Newport?
$56,351. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $233,600. Median gross rent is $896 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Newport businesses?
20 7(a) approvals totalling $10.6 m, across 8 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 2 504 approvals worth $1.3 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Newport, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Newport borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Newport. only 3 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Newport in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Newport appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370049, carrying Community Rating System class 8, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Newport figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Carteret County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Newport.
Is zoning published for Newport?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
