Oakboro homes, by the numbers
Oakboro has about 2,700 people in roughly 1,100 homes, according to the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey. Almost all of them (about 96%) are detached houses, and about 81% are owner-occupied.
About 19% of homes are rented. Almost none are apartments: about 2% of homes are in small buildings of two to four units, and the rest are houses and a few mobile homes. About 44% of homes went up before 1980.
The town's housing has two layers. About 30% of homes are older than 1960, from the mill years, and about 27% were built in 2010 or later, with about 11% from 2020 or later. The median home dates from 1989.
Natural gas is almost absent here: only about 2% of homes heat with it. About 81% use electricity and about 9% use propane, so a gas range or dryer in Oakboro is almost always a propane one.
