Boonville town, NC in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Boonville town is a small town in North Carolina, with 1,502 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #383 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 37.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in Boonville town earn a median of $77,500 a year, 1.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% above the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 13.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Boonville town is valued at $167,300, 44.9% below the national figure and 24% below the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $735 a month, 47.7% below the national figure, or roughly $8,820 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 69.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
