What it’s like
The place. Aulander is a very small town in Bertie County, in the flat country of northeastern North Carolina. Homes here are modest in price, and household incomes in the county run well below those across much of the country. Winters are cool and short with very little snow, summers are hot, and rain falls steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, professional and business services, and government. Across Bertie County, some of the largest workplaces are Perdue Foods, Bertie County Schools and East Carolina Health-Bertie. The county has added jobs over the past year, though unemployment there is lower than it was a year ago.
Things to do. Water and wild land are the main draws nearby. The Meherrin River and the Chowan River are both a longer drive away, as is the Roanoke River National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area. Merchants Millpond State Park, also a longer drive away, is another protected area for anyone who likes to spend time outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Aulander’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Bertie County.
