What it’s like
The place. Albertson is a small township in Duplin County, North Carolina, and households here earn slightly more than the county as a whole. Homes sit at a price that many longtime owners will find reasonable for the region. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the town has the feel of a quiet, working community in the eastern part of the state. Winters are cool and fairly mild, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in the building trades and in shops. Across Duplin County, some of the biggest employers are Butterball, Duplin County Schools and House of Raeford Wallace. Most people drive a fair way to get to work, and very few work from home. Joblessness across the county is low and a little lower than a year ago, and the number of jobs there has grown slightly.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Northeast Cape Fear River and Bear Creek are both a short drive away, and Cliffs of the Neuse State Park, a protected area, is a short drive as well. Those who like history can make a longer drive to CSS Neuse, a museum. Together they give a mix of quiet water, woodland and a look at the region's past.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Duplin County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Duplin County.
