Holly Springs city, GA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Holly Springs city is a mid-size town in Georgia, with 17,693 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #67 of 675 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 39.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Holly Springs city earn a median of $111,224 a year, 41.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 94% above the $57,300 median for the 378 Georgia cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 3.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Holly Springs city is valued at $414,700, 36.7% above the national figure and 116% above the $191,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,927 a month, 37.1% above the national figure, or roughly $23,124 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 74.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
