Overview
Gulf, a small census-designated community in North Carolina, United States, forms part of the country's settled landscape. Population sits at roughly 178 according to the open data we track. Its coordinates of 35.558°, -79.281° place it in the warm-temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. The census-designated community extends across a compact 2.4 km². Solar-resource estimates put the area at about 1,622 kWh/m² of solar irradiance per year with sunshine for roughly 63% of daylight hours. Its latitude implies a climate characterised by warm summers and cool winters. Population density therefore averages about 74 per km², a sparse settlement pattern. Additional figures on demographics, climate, geography and points of interest appear in the sections that follow, all drawn from open public datasets.
