This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Turkey through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 391 with a margin of error of plus or minus 289, which is 73.9 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Sampson County, not Turkey
Sampson County context, not Turkey figures
These are Sampson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Turkey measurements.
- Establishments in Sampson County1,014
- Employment at those establishments, Sampson County12,611
- Covered employment, Sampson County17,090
- Average annual pay, Sampson County$49,873
- Average weekly wage, Sampson County$959
- Housing units permitted, Sampson County189
- Of those, single family, Sampson County189
- County product, 2024, Sampson County$2,548,224,000
- County product change over the prior year, Sampson County9.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Sampson County$44,167
Every figure in this section is published for Sampson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Turkey. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- 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
Turkey questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Turkey, North Carolina?
391, in 129 households. Turkey town covers 0.40 square miles of land, which is 986 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Turkey in?
Sampson County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
Is Turkey in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Turkey appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370628, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. 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 Turkey figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Sampson 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 Turkey.
Is zoning published for Turkey?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
