About this ranking

Source: U.S. Census Bureau — Subcounty Resident Population Estimates (SUB-EST2025), Vintage 2025
Reference date: July 1, 2025
Universe: 551 incorporated places in North Carolina; 549 ranked, 2 without an estimate
Ranked by: Population, highest first
Ties: Places with equal populations share a rank; their display order is settled by name and then by official Census geographic identifier, so the order is the same everywhere.

Ranks are computed from the current estimate, not the decennial Census count; each place's official Census benchmark appears on its own page.
